  • These screening methods are of particular use for assessing with improved predictability the behavior of a drug in a genetically modified animal as described herein, e.g. in a genetically modified rat, as a model for humans.
  • the present disclosure also features a method of assessing the ADME profile of a drug in a genetically modified animal, as part of a drug screening or evaluation process.
  • a candidate therapeutic agent i.e, a candidate drug can be administered to a genetically modified animal that harbors a targeted gene knock-out and/or an expressed transgene, which was achieved through use of ZFNs.
  • the knock-out or knock-in gene is associated with at least one aspect of the drug ADME profile or toxicology, and/or metabolism, and may be derived from a mouse, rat, or human genome.
  • a method of screening for the target of a test compound can make use of a genetically modified animal in which any one or more of an ABC transporter such as Mdr1a, Mdr1b, PXR, BCRP, MRP1, or MRP2 are knocked out, thus inhibiting or eliminating transmembrane transport mediated by the knocked out protein(s).
  • an animal can be exposed to a test compound suspected of inhibiting transporter activity of the knocked-out protein(s).
  • Inhibition of transport by the compound in the genetically modified animal can be determined using any of a number of routine laboratory tests and techniques, and the inhibition of transport may be compared to that observed in a wild-type animal treated with the same test compound.
  • a difference in the effect of the test compound in the two animals can be indicative of the target of the test compound.

  • genetically modified animals and cells as described herein for example genetically modified animals and cells including a genetic modification of one or more ABC transporter proteins, can be used advantageously in many methods that evaluate the ADME and toxicology characteristics of a candidate therapeutic compound, to identify targets of a test compound, or to identify ways in which the ADME characteristics and toxicology of a candidate compound may be improved.
  • the overwhelming need to accurately predict how drugs and environmental chemicals may affect large populations can be readily appreciated.
  • the genetically modified animals, embryos, cells and cell lines described herein can be used to analyze how various compounds may interact with biological systems.
  • Genetically modified cells and cell lines can be used, for example, to control many of the known complexities in biological systems to improve the predictive ability of cell-based assay systems, such as those used to evaluate new molecular entities and possible drug-drug interactions. More specifically, it is recognized that biological systems typically include multiple components that respond to exposure to new, potentially harmful compounds.
  • the “ADMET system” has been described as including five components.
  • the first component are those biological systems that when disrupted signal the drug metabolism system to turn on, and may include stress response and DNA repair pathways.
  • “xenosensors” surveil for exogenous molecules that need removal. Detection of an exogenous molecule by the xenosensors then activates a cascade of gene inductions that up-regulate the enzymes responsible for metabolizing exogenous molecules into forms for easier removal.
  • the enzymes of the third ADMET component include Phase I enzymes that include at least three classes of oxidases, of which the best known class is the cytochrome P450 class.
  • Cytochrome 450 enzymes typically add reactive hydroxyl moieties to potential toxins to inactivate and render the toxins more polar (soluble).
  • the fourth component of the ADMET system includes at least seven classes of enzymes that further alter the products of Phase I enzymatic modification. Typically, these enzymes are conjugating enzymes that add hydrophilic moieties to make the now oxidized xenobiotics even more water soluble ADMET, and readily collected and excreted through urine or bile.
  • the last component is the transporter system involving transporter proteins, such as the ABC transporters, that function as molecular pumps to facilitate the movement of the xenobiotics from one tissue to another. The transporter proteins are responsible for moving drugs into a cell, out of a cell, or through a cell.
  • Each component of the ADMET system has its own set of substrate structural specificities, which must be taken into account by any assay. Making predictability an even larger challenge is that, for critical members of each of the five component classes, a constellation of genetic polymorphisms exists in the population and these can dramatically affect activity towards specific xenobiotic chemical structures. The growing field of pharmacogenomics addresses the challenges created by such genetic variation. In addition, gender differences in how the different components of the xenobiotic system respond are also known to play a role in variations in drug metabolism.
  • genetically modified animals, cells and particularly cell lines as described herein will be useful as the basis for cell-based assays with improved predictive ability with respect to a drug's clinical outcome or a chemical's toxicological problems.
  • Panels of cell lines are expressly contemplated for such a purpose.
  • cell-based assays can be created that are representative of the target tissue where metabolism or toxicity of a drug compound is likely to occur.
  • standard assays are usually run in transformed cell lines that are derived from the target tissue and have some concordant functional properties.
  • genetically modified and differentiated pluripotent cells could be used to replace the immortalized cell components.
  • genetically modified cell lines can be used in more highly predictive cell-based assays suitable for high-throughput, high-content compound screening.
  • the present disclosure contemplates ZFN-mediated genetic modifications of genes relevant to each part of the xenobiotic metabolism machinery.
  • Such modifications include knock-outs, knock-ins of reporter tags, the introduction of specific mutations known to affect activity, or combinations of these.
  • the genetically modified cells and cell lines can be used to create tissue-specific, gender-specific, and/or population-reflective transporter panels; cell-based xenosenor assay panels that are tissue-specific and functionally reflective of the population; and induction assays that measure the genetic activation of different drug metabolism components and overt toxicological responses such as genotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and apoptosis.
  • tissue-specific lines can be established that have been modified to isolate specific transporter activities and predict the reaction of populations to individual chemical entities.
  • ZFNs can be used to create transporter gene knock-outs in enterocyte cell lines, such as to introduce important, common polymorphisms into enterocyte cell lines, and in cell lines representative of liver, blood-brain-barrier (brain micro-vasculature endothelial cells), kidney and any relevant tissue-specific cell lines.
  • Panels of cell lines can include enterocytes (Caco2 or BBe1) with knock-outs of individual transporter proteins (e.g. MDR-1, MRP1, 2, 3, 4, 6, BCRP), knock-out combinations to isolate effects of individual transporters (e.g.
  • Panels of enterocytes may include knock-outs of OATP-2B1, PEPT-1, and OCT-N2. Panels of enterocytes may be created which include prevalent polymorphisms in the major transporter genes that affect drug transport and are of concern to pharmaceutical researchers.
  • the three xenosensors in humans are known to have overlapping specificities in response to xenobiotics. Knowing which xenosensors are activated and to what extent by any particular chemical compound is also an important consideration for understanding drug responses, and drug-drug interactions. Creating panels of cells that report induction by the xenosensors can delineate the specificities. Further modifying the cells to address functionally important polymorphisms in the xenosensors would permit population predictions.
  • ZFNs can be used to create knock-out cell lines analogous to transporter knockout cell lines as described above, and to create reporter cell lines that express different fluorescent proteins upon induction of different xenosensors.
  • cell lines can be created in which green FP is expressed if PXR is induced, red FP if CAR activity is induced, blue FP if AhR is induced. All lines may be constructed in the relevant tissue-type cell lines, i.e. intestine, liver, kidney, brain, and heart. Panels of cells can be created that represent the tissues most involved with drug toxicity and metabolism, and in which each xenosensor (CAR, PXR, AhR) is knocked out. Cell lines can also be produced that produce fluorescent proteins upon the activation of each of the three xenosensors.
  • ZFNs can be used to create genetically modified cell lines as described herein that can provide the basis for assays that can measure the up/down regulation of key Phase I and Phase II enzymes, along with genes involved in a toxicological response.
  • ZFNs can be used to build lines that have a reporter gene (e.g. encoding fluorescent protein or luciferase) inserted proximal to the promoter of the gene being measured.
  • Tissue-specific panels of cells can also be created, which report on the activation of genes encoding either the Phase I or Phase II enzymes, the transporters, or toxicity response pathways (e.g., genotoxicity or apoptosis).

  • homologous recombination refers to the specialized form of such exchange that takes place, for example, during repair of double-strand breaks in cells. This process requires sequence similarity between the two polynucleotides, uses a “donor” or “exchange” molecule to template repair of a “target” molecule (i.e., the one that experienced the double-strand break), and is variously known as “non-crossover gene conversion” or “short tract gene conversion,” because it leads to the transfer of genetic information from the donor to the target.
  • such transfer can involve mismatch correction of heteroduplex DNA that forms between the broken target and the donor, and/or “synthesis-dependent strand annealing,” in which the donor is used to resynthesize genetic information that will become part of the target, and/or related processes.
  • Such specialized homologous recombination often results in an alteration of the sequence of the target molecule such that part or all of the sequence of the donor or exchange polynucleotide is incorporated into the target polynucleotide.
  • target site or “target sequence” refer to a nucleic acid sequence that defines a portion of a chromosomal sequence to be edited and to which a zinc finger nuclease is engineered to recognize and bind, provided sufficient conditions for binding exist.
  • nucleic acid and amino acid sequence identity are known in the art. Typically, such techniques include determining the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA for a gene and/or determining the amino acid sequence encoded thereby, and comparing these sequences to a second nucleotide or amino acid sequence. Genomic sequences can also be determined and compared in this fashion. In general, identity refers to an exact nucleotide-to-nucleotide or amino acid-to-amino acid correspondence of two polynucleotides or polypeptide sequences, respectively. Two or more sequences (polynucleotide or amino acid) can be compared by determining their percent identity.
  • the percent identity of two sequences is the number of exact matches between two aligned sequences divided by the length of the shorter sequences and multiplied by 100.
  • An approximate alignment for nucleic acid sequences is provided by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman, Advances in Applied Mathematics 2:482-489 (1981). This algorithm can be applied to amino acid sequences by using the scoring matrix developed by Dayhoff, Atlas of Protein Sequences and Structure, M. O. Dayhoff ed., 5 suppl. 3:353-358, National Biomedical Research Foundation, Washington, D.C., USA, and normalized by Gribskov, Nucl. Acids Res. 14(6):6745-6763 (1986).
  • the degree of sequence similarity between polynucleotides can be determined by hybridization of polynucleotides under conditions that allow formation of stable duplexes between regions that share a degree of sequence identity, followed by digestion with single-stranded-specific nuclease(s), and size determination of the digested fragments.
  • Two nucleic acid, or two polypeptide sequences are substantially similar to each other when the sequences exhibit at least about 70%-75%, preferably 80%-82%, more-preferably 85%-90%, even more preferably 92%, still more preferably 95%, and most preferably 98% sequence identity over a defined length of the molecules, as determined using the methods above.
  • substantially similar also refers to sequences showing complete identity to a specified DNA or polypeptide sequence.
  • DNA sequences that are substantially similar can be identified in a Southern hybridization experiment under, for example, stringent conditions, as defined for that particular system. Defining appropriate hybridization conditions is within the skill of the art. See, e.g., Sambrook et al., supra; Nucleic Acid Hybridization: A Practical Approach, editors B. D. Hames and S. J. Higgins, (1985) Oxford; Washington, D.C.; IRL Press).
  • Selective hybridization of two nucleic acid fragments can be determined as follows. The degree of sequence identity between two nucleic acid molecules affects the efficiency and strength of hybridization events between such molecules. A partially identical nucleic acid sequence will at least partially inhibit the hybridization of a completely identical sequence to a target molecule. Inhibition of hybridization of the completely identical sequence can be assessed using hybridization assays that are well known in the art (e.g., Southern (DNA) blot, Northern (RNA) blot, solution hybridization, or the like, see Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, (1989) Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.).

  • Such assays can be conducted using varying degrees of selectivity, for example, using conditions varying from low to high stringency. If conditions of low stringency are employed, the absence of non-specific binding can be assessed using a secondary probe that lacks even a partial degree of sequence identity (for example, a probe having less than about 30% sequence identity with the target molecule), such that, in the absence of non-specific binding events, the secondary probe will not hybridize to the target.

  • a nucleic acid probe When utilizing a hybridization-based detection system, a nucleic acid probe is chosen that is complementary to a reference nucleic acid sequence, and then by selection of appropriate conditions the probe and the reference sequence selectively hybridize, or bind, to each other to form a duplex molecule.
  • a nucleic acid molecule that is capable of hybridizing selectively to a reference sequence under moderately stringent hybridization conditions typically hybridizes under conditions that allow detection of a target nucleic acid sequence of at least about 10-14 nucleotides in length having at least approximately 70% sequence identity with the sequence of the selected nucleic acid probe.
  • Stringent hybridization conditions typically allow detection of target nucleic acid sequences of at least about 10-14 nucleotides in length having a sequence identity of greater than about 90-95% with the sequence of the selected nucleic acid probe.

D. Hames and S. J. Higgins, (1985) Oxford; Washington, D.C.; IRL Press). Conditions for hybridization are well-known to those of skill in the art.
  • Hybridization stringency refers to the degree to which hybridization conditions disfavor the formation of hybrids containing mismatched nucleotides, with higher stringency correlated with a lower tolerance for mismatched hybrids.
  • Factors that affect the stringency of hybridization include, but are not limited to, temperature, pH, ionic strength, and concentration of organic solvents such as, for example, formamide and dimethylsulfoxide.
  • hybridization stringency is increased by higher temperatures, lower ionic strength and lower solvent concentrations.

Description

    REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING
  • A paper copy of the sequence listing and a computer readable form of the same sequence listing are appended below and herein incorporated by reference. The information recorded in computer readable form is identical to the written sequence listing, according to 37 C.F.R. 1.821 (f).
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention encompasses a method for creating an animal or cell with at least one chromosomal edit. In particular, the invention relates to the use of targeted zinc finger nucleases to edit chromosomal sequences.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Rational genome engineering has enormous potential across basic research, drug discovery, and cell-based medicines. Existing methods for targeted gene knock-out or site-specific gene insertion rely on homologous recombination. The low rate of spontaneous recombination in certain cell types, however, has been an enormous hurdle to universal genome editing. The scale of screening effort and the time required to isolate the targeted event was prohibitive. Thus, there exists a strong need for a technology that can rapidly achieve genomic editing in most cell types with high speed and efficiency, so as to greatly reduce the overall engineering effort.

Typically, the embryo comprises at least one nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease that recognizes a target sequence in the chromosomal sequence and is able to cleave a cleavage site in the chromosomal sequence, and, optionally, (i) at least one donor polynucleotide comprising a donor sequence for integration, an upstream sequence and a downstream sequence, wherein the donor sequence is flanked by the upstream sequence and the downstream sequence and wherein the upstream sequence and the downstream sequence share substantial sequence identity with either side of the cleavage site, or (ii) at least one exchange polynucleotide comprising an exchange sequence that is substantially identical to a portion of the chromosomal sequence at the cleavage site and which further comprises at least one nucleotide change.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The present disclosure provides a method for creating a genetically modified animal or animal cell comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence. The edited chromosomal sequence may be (1) inactivated, (2) modified, or (3) comprise an integrated sequence. An inactivated chromosomal sequence is altered such that a functional protein is not made or a control sequence no longer functions the same as a wild-type control sequence. Thus, a genetically modified animal comprising an inactivated chromosomal sequence may be termed a “knock-out” or a “conditional knock-out.” Similarly, a genetically modified animal comprising an integrated sequence may be termed a “knock-in” or a “conditional knock-in.” As detailed below, a knock-in animal may be a humanized animal. Furthermore, a genetically modified animal comprising a modified chromosomal sequence may comprise a targeted point mutation(s) or other modification such that an altered protein product is produced. A chromosomal sequence generally is edited using a zinc finger nuclease-mediated process. Briefly, the process comprises introducing into a cell at least one nucleic acid encoding a targeted zinc finger nuclease and, optionally, at least one accessory polynucleotide. The method further comprises incubating the cell to allow expression of the zinc finger nuclease, wherein a double-stranded break introduced into the targeted chromosomal sequence by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired by an error-prone non-homologous end-joining DNA repair process or a homology-directed DNA repair process. In an exemplary embodiment, the cell is an embryo. The method of editing chromosomal sequences using targeted zinc finger nuclease technology as described herein is rapid, precise, and highly efficient.
  • Additionally, the invention encompasses an animal or a cell comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence. A method of the invention, an animal of the invention, a cell of the invention, and applications thereof are described in more detail below.
  • I. Method for Chromosomal Editing
  • One aspect of the present invention encompasses a method for chromosomal editing. As used herein, “chromosomal editing” refers to editing a chromosomal sequence such that the sequence is (1) inactivated, (2) modified, or (3) comprises an integrated sequence. Generally speaking, a method for editing a chromosomal sequence comprises: (a) introducing into a cell at least one nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease that recognizes a target sequence in the chromosomal sequence and is able to cleave a site in the chromosomal sequence, and, optionally, (i) at least one donor polynucleotide comprising a sequence for integration, the sequence flanked by an upstream sequence and a downstream sequence that share substantial sequence identity with either side of the cleavage site, or (ii) at least one exchange polynucleotide comprising a sequence that is substantially identical to a portion of the chromosomal sequence at the cleavage site and which further comprises at least one nucleotide change; and (b) culturing the cell to allow expression of the zinc finger nuclease such that the zinc finger nuclease introduces a double-stranded break into the chromosomal sequence, and wherein the double-stranded break is repaired by (i) a non-homologous end-joining repair process such that a mutation is introduced into the chromosomal sequence, or (ii) a homology-directed repair process such that the sequence in the donor polynucleotide is integrated into the chromosomal sequence or the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide is exchanged with the portion of the chromosomal sequence.
  • Components of the zinc finger nuclease-mediated method of editing a chromosomal sequence are described in more detail below.
  • (a) Nucleic Acid Encoding a Zinc Finger Nuclease
  • The method comprises, in part, introducing into a cell at least one nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease. Typically, a zinc finger nuclease comprises a DNA binding domain (i.e., zinc finger) and a cleavage domain (i.e., nuclease). The DNA binding and cleavage domains are described below. The nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may comprise DNA or RNA. For example, the nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may comprise mRNA. When the nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease comprises mRNA, the mRNA molecule may be 5′ capped. Similarly, when the nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease comprises mRNA, the mRNA molecule may be polyadenylated. An exemplary nucleic acid according to the method is a capped and polyadenylated mRNA molecule encoding a zinc finger nuclease. Methods for capping and polyadenylating mRNA are known in the art.
  • Generally speaking, a zinc finger nuclease of the invention, once introduced into a cell, creates a double-stranded break in the chromosomal sequence. The double-stranded break may be repaired, in certain embodiments, by a non-homologous end-joining repair process of the cell, such that a mutation is introduced into the chromosomal sequence. In other embodiments, as described below, a homology-directed repair process is used to edit the chromosomal sequence.
  • (i) Zinc Finger Binding Domain
  • Zinc finger binding domains may be engineered to recognize and bind to any nucleic acid sequence of choice. See, for example, Beerli et al. (2002) Nat. Biotechnol. 20:135-141; Pabo et al. (2001) Ann. Rev. Biochem. 70:313-340; Isalan et al. (2001) Nat. Biotechnol. 19:656-660; Segal et al. (2001) Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 12:632-637; Choo et al. (2000) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 10:411-416; Zhang et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275(43):33850-33860; Doyon et al. (2008) Nat. Biotechnol. 26:702-708; and Santiago et al. (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 105:5809-5814. An engineered zinc finger binding domain may have a novel binding specificity compared to a naturally-occurring zinc finger protein. Engineering methods include, but are not limited to, rational design and various types of selection. Rational design includes, for example, using databases comprising doublet, triplet, and/or quadruplet nucleotide sequences and individual zinc finger amino acid sequences, in which each doublet, triplet or quadruplet nucleotide sequence is associated with one or more amino acid sequences of zinc fingers which bind the particular triplet or quadruplet sequence. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,453,242 and 6,534,261, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. As an example, the algorithm described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,453,242 may be used to design a zinc finger binding domain to target a preselected sequence. Alternative methods, such as rational design using a nondegenerate recognition code table may also be used to design a zinc finger binding domain to target a specific sequence (Sera et al. (2002) Biochemistry 41:7074-7081). Publicly available web-based tools for identifying potential target sites in DNA sequences and designing zinc finger binding domains may be found at www.zincfingertools.org and bindr.gdcb.iastate.edu/ZiFiT/, respectively (Mandell et al. (2006) Nuc. Acid Res. 34:W516-W523; Sander et al. (2007) Nuc. Acid Res. 35:W599-W605).
  • A zinc finger DNA binding domain may be designed to recognize a DNA sequence ranging from about 3 nucleotides to about 21 nucleotides in length, or from about 8 to about 19 nucleotides in length. In general, the zinc finger binding domains of the zinc finger nucleases disclosed herein comprise at least three zinc finger recognition regions (i.e., zinc fingers). In one embodiment, the zinc finger binding domain may comprise four zinc finger recognition regions. In another embodiment, the zinc finger binding domain may comprise five zinc finger recognition regions. In still another embodiment, the zinc finger binding domain may comprise six zinc finger recognition regions. A zinc finger binding domain may be designed to bind to any suitable target DNA sequence. See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,607,882; 6,534,261 and 6,453,242, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
  • Exemplary methods of selecting a zinc finger recognition region may include phage display and two-hybrid systems, and are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,789,538; 5,925,523; 6,007,988; 6,013,453; 6,410,248; 6,140,466; 6,200,759; and 6,242,568; as well as WO 98/37186; WO 98/53057; WO 00/27878; WO 01/88197 and GB 2,338,237, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In addition, enhancement of binding specificity for zinc finger binding domains has been described, for example, in WO 02/077227.
  • Zinc finger binding domains and methods for design and construction of fusion proteins (and polynucleotides encoding same) are known to those of skill in the art and are described in detail in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20050064474 and 20060188987, each incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Zinc finger recognition regions and/or multi-fingered zinc finger proteins may be linked together using suitable linker sequences, including for example, linkers of five or more amino acids in length. See, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,479,626; 6,903,185; and 7,153,949, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties, for non-limiting examples of linker sequences of six or more amino acids in length. The zinc finger binding domain described herein may include a combination of suitable linkers between the individual zinc fingers of the protein.
  • In some embodiments, the zinc finger nuclease may further comprise a nuclear localization signal or sequence (NLS). A NLS is an amino acid sequence which facilitates targeting the zinc finger nuclease protein into the nucleus to introduce a double stranded break at the target sequence in the chromosome. Nuclear localization signals are known in the art. See, for example, Makkerh et al. (1996) Current Biology 6:1025-1027.
  • (ii) Cleavage Domain
  • A zinc finger nuclease also includes a cleavage domain.
  • The cleavage domain portion of the zinc finger nucleases disclosed herein may be obtained from any endonuclease or exonuclease. Non-limiting examples of endonucleases from which a cleavage domain may be derived include, but are not limited to, restriction endonucleases and homing endonucleases. See, for example, 2002-2003 Catalog, New England Biolabs, Beverly, Mass.; and Belfort et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3379-3388 or www.neb.com. Additional enzymes that cleave DNA are known (e.g., 51 Nuclease; mung bean nuclease; pancreatic DNase I; micrococcal nuclease; yeast HO endonuclease). See also Linn et al. (eds.) Nucleases, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1993. One or more of these enzymes (or functional fragments thereof) may be used as a source of cleavage domains.
  • A cleavage domain also may be derived from an enzyme or portion thereof, as described above, that requires dimerization for cleavage activity. Two zinc finger nucleases may be required for cleavage, as each nuclease comprises a monomer of the active enzyme dimer. Alternatively, a single zinc finger nuclease may comprise both monomers to create an active enzyme dimer. As used herein, an “active enzyme dimer” is an enzyme dimer capable of cleaving a nucleic acid molecule. The two cleavage monomers may be derived from the same endonuclease (or functional fragments thereof), or each monomer may be derived from a different endonuclease (or functional fragments thereof).
  • When two cleavage monomers are used to form an active enzyme dimer, the recognition sites for the two zinc finger nucleases are preferably disposed such that binding of the two zinc finger nucleases to their respective recognition sites places the cleavage monomers in a spatial orientation to each other that allows the cleavage monomers to form an active enzyme dimer, e.g., by dimerizing. As a result, the near edges of the recognition sites may be separated by about 5 to about 18 nucleotides. For instance, the near edges may be separated by about 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 or 18 nucleotides. It will however be understood that any integral number of nucleotides or nucleotide pairs may intervene between two recognition sites (e.g., from about 2 to about 50 nucleotide pairs or more). The near edges of the recognition sites of the zinc finger nucleases, such as for example those described in detail herein, may be separated by 6 nucleotides. In general, the site of cleavage lies between the recognition sites.
  • Restriction endonucleases (restriction enzymes) are present in many species and are capable of sequence-specific binding to DNA (at a recognition site), and cleaving DNA at or near the site of binding. Certain restriction enzymes (e.g., Type IIS) cleave DNA at sites removed from the recognition site and have separable binding and cleavage domains. For example, the Type IIS enzyme Fok I catalyzes double-stranded cleavage of DNA, at 9 nucleotides from its recognition site on one strand and 13 nucleotides from its recognition site on the other. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,356,802; 5,436,150 and 5,487,994; as well as Li et al. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:4275-4279; Li et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:2764-2768; Kim et al. (1994a) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:883-887; Kim et al. (1994b) J. Biol. Chem. 269:31, 978-31, 982. Thus, a zinc finger nuclease may comprise the cleavage domain from at least one Type IIS restriction enzyme and one or more zinc finger binding domains, which may or may not be engineered. Exemplary Type IIS restriction enzymes are described for example in International Publication WO 07/014,275, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Additional restriction enzymes also contain separable binding and cleavage domains, and these also are contemplated by the present disclosure. See, for example, Roberts et al. (2003) Nucleic Acids Res. 31:418-420.
  • An exemplary Type IIS restriction enzyme, whose cleavage domain is separable from the binding domain, is Fok I. This particular enzyme is active as a dimer (Bitinaite et al. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95: 10, 570-10, 575). Accordingly, for the purposes of the present disclosure, the portion of the Fok I enzyme used in a zinc finger nuclease is considered a cleavage monomer. Thus, for targeted double-stranded cleavage using a Fok I cleavage domain, two zinc finger nucleases, each comprising a FokI cleavage monomer, may be used to reconstitute an active enzyme dimer. Alternatively, a single polypeptide molecule containing a zinc finger binding domain and two Fok I cleavage monomers may also be used.
  • In certain embodiments, the cleavage domain may comprise one or more engineered cleavage monomers that minimize or prevent homodimerization, as described, for example, in U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 20050064474, 20060188987, and 20080131962, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. By way of non-limiting example, amino acid residues at positions 446, 447, 479, 483, 484, 486, 487, 490, 491, 496, 498, 499, 500, 531, 534, 537, and 538 of Fok I are all targets for influencing dimerization of the Fok I cleavage half-domains. Exemplary engineered cleavage monomers of Fok I that form obligate heterodimers include a pair in which a first cleavage monomer includes mutations at amino acid residue positions 490 and 538 of Fok I and a second cleavage monomer that includes mutations at amino-acid residue positions 486 and 499.
  • Thus, in one embodiment, a mutation at amino acid position 490 replaces Glu (E) with Lys (K); a mutation at amino acid residue 538 replaces Iso (I) with Lys (K); a mutation at amino acid residue 486 replaces Gln (Q) with Glu (E); and a mutation at position 499 replaces Iso (I) with Lys (K). Specifically, the engineered cleavage monomers may be prepared by mutating positions 490 from E to K and 538 from I to K in one cleavage monomer to produce an engineered cleavage monomer designated “E490K:I538K” and by mutating positions 486 from Q to E and 499 from Ito L in another cleavage monomer to produce an engineered cleavage monomer designated “Q486E:I499L.” The above described engineered cleavage monomers are obligate heterodimer mutants in which aberrant cleavage is minimized or abolished. Engineered cleavage monomers may be prepared using a suitable method, for example, by site-directed mutagenesis of wild-type cleavage monomers (Fok I) as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050064474 (see Example 5).
  • The zinc finger nuclease described above may be engineered to introduce a double stranded break at the targeted site of integration. The double stranded break may be at the targeted site of integration, or it may be up to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 100, or 1000 nucleotides away from the site of integration. In some embodiments, the double stranded break may be up to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, or 20 nucleotides away from the site of integration. In other embodiments, the double stranded break may be up to 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 nucleotides away from the site of integration. In yet other embodiments, the double stranded break may be up to 50, 100, or 1000 nucleotides away from the site of integration.
  • (iii) Exemplary Zinc Finger Nuclease
  • Provided herein are non-limiting examples of zinc finger nucleases that recognize and bind target sequences found in various animal chromosomal sequences. For instance, a zinc finger nuclease of the invention may have an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to a sequence chosen from a zinc finger nuclease having a SEQ ID NO chosen from 53, 54, 57-62, 69-76, 104-113, 123-126, 147-156, 201-210, 219-222, 223-224, 230-233, 240-243. In other embodiments, the sequence identity may be about 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100%.
  • Moreover, the zinc finger nucleases encoded by a SEQ ID NO chosen from 53, 54, 57-62, 69-76, 104-113, 123-126, 147-156, 201-210, 219-222, 223-224, 230-233, 240-243 may recognize and bind a chromosomal sequence having at least about 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% sequence identity to a chromosomal SEQ ID NO 55, 56, 63-68, 77-84, 86-91, 94-103, 117-122, 129, 130, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139-146, 164-173, 213-218, 226-229, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239.
  • (iv) Additional Methods for Targeted Cleavage
  • Any nuclease having a target site in a chromosome may be used in the methods disclosed herein. For example, homing endonucleases and meganucleases have very long recognition sequences, some of which are likely to be present, on a statistical basis, once in a human-sized genome. Any such nuclease having a unique target site in a genome may be used instead of, or in addition to, a zinc finger nuclease, for targeted cleavage of a chromosome.
  • Non-limiting examples of homing endonucleases include I-SceI, I-CeuI, PI-PspI, PI-Sce, I-SceIV, I-CsmI, I-Pant, I-SceII, I-PpoI, I-SceIII, I-CreI, I-TevI, I-TevII and I-TevIII. The recognition sequences of these enzymes are known in the art. See also U.S. Pat. No. 5,420,032; U.S. Pat. No. 6,833,252; Belfort et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3379-3388; Dujon et al. (1989) Gene 82:115-118; Perler et al. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res. 22, 1125-1127; Jasin (1996) Trends Genet. 12:224-228; Gimble et al. (1996) J. Mol. Biol. 263:163-180; Argast et al. (1998) J. Mol. Biol. 280:345-353 and the New England Biolabs catalogue.
  • Although the cleavage specificity of most homing endonucleases is not absolute with respect to their recognition sites, the sites are of sufficient length that a single cleavage event per mammalian-sized genome may be obtained by expressing a homing endonuclease in a cell containing a single copy of its recognition site. It has also been reported that the specificity of homing endonucleases and meganucleases may be engineered to bind non-natural target sites. See, for example, Chevalier et al. (2002) Molec. Cell 10:895-905; Epinat et al. (2003) Nucleic Acids Res. 31:2952-2962; Ashworth et al. (2006) Nature 441:656-659; Paques et al. (2007) Current Gene Therapy 7:49-66.
  • (b) Optional Exchange Polynucleotide
  • A method for editing chromosomal sequences may further comprise introducing into a cell at least one exchange polynucleotide comprising a sequence that is substantially identical to the chromosomal sequence at the site of cleavage and which further comprises at least one specific nucleotide change.
  • Typically, the exchange polynucleotide will be DNA. The exchange polynucleotide may be a DNA plasmid, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), a viral vector, a linear piece of DNA, a PCR fragment, a naked nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid complexed with a delivery vehicle such as a liposome or poloxamer. An exemplary exchange polynucleotide may be a DNA plasmid.
  • The sequence in the exchange polynucleotide is substantially identical to a portion of the chromosomal sequence at the site of cleavage. In general, the sequence of the exchange polynucleotide will share enough sequence identity with the chromosomal sequence such that the two sequences may be exchanged by homologous recombination. For example, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may be at least about 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% identical to a region of the chromosomal sequence.
  • Importantly, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide comprises at least one specific nucleotide change with respect to the sequence of the corresponding chromosomal sequence. For example, one nucleotide in a specific codon may be changed to another nucleotide such that the codon codes for a different amino acid. In one embodiment, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may comprise one specific nucleotide change such that the encoded protein comprises one amino acid change. In other embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may comprise two, three, four, or more specific nucleotide changes such that the encoded protein comprises one, two, three, four, or more amino acid changes. In still other embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may comprise a three nucleotide deletion or insertion such that the reading frame of the coding reading is not altered (and a functional protein may be produced). The expressed protein, however, would comprise a single amino acid deletion or insertion.
  • The length of the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide that is substantially identical to a portion of the chromosomal sequence at the site of cleavage can and will vary. In general, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may range from about 25 bp to about 10,000 bp in length. In various embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may be about 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400, 2600, 2800, 3000, 3200, 3400, 3600, 3800, 4000, 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800, or 5000 bp in length. In other embodiments, the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may be about 5500, 6000, 6500, 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500, 8000, 8500, 9000, 9500, or 10,000 bp in length.
  • One of skill in the art would be able to construct an exchange polynucleotide as described herein using well-known standard recombinant techniques (see, for example, Sambrook et al., 2001 and Ausubel et al., 1996).
  • In the method detailed above for modifying a chromosomal sequence, a double stranded break introduced into the chromosomal sequence by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired, via homologous recombination with the exchange polynucleotide, such that the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide may be exchanged with a portion of the chromosomal sequence. The presence of the double stranded break facilitates homologous recombination and repair of the break. The exchange polynucleotide may be physically integrated or, alternatively, the exchange polynucleotide may be used as a template for repair of the break, resulting in the exchange of the sequence information in the exchange polynucleotide with the sequence information in that portion of the chromosomal sequence. Thus, a portion of the endogenous chromosomal sequence may be converted to the sequence of the exchange polynucleotide. The changed nucleotide(s) may be at or near the site of cleavage. Alternatively, the changed nucleotide(s) may be anywhere in the exchanged sequences. As a consequence of the exchange, however, the chromosomal sequence is modified.
  • (c) Optional Donor Polynucleotide
  • A method for editing chromosomal sequences may alternatively comprise introducing at least one donor polynucleotide comprising a sequence for integration into a cell. A donor polynucleotide comprises at least three components: the sequence to be integrated that is flanked by an upstream sequence and a downstream sequence, wherein the upstream and downstream sequences share sequence similarity with either side of the site of integration in the chromosome.
  • Typically, the donor polynucleotide will be DNA. The donor polynucleotide may be a DNA plasmid, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), a viral vector, a linear piece of DNA, a PCR fragment, a naked nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid complexed with a delivery vehicle such as a liposome or poloxamer. An exemplary donor polynucleotide may be a DNA plasmid.
  • The donor polynucleotide comprises a sequence for integration. The sequence for integration may be a sequence endogenous to the animal or cell or it may be an exogenous sequence. The sequence for integration may encode a protein or a non-coding RNA (e.g., a microRNA). Thus, the sequence for integration may be operably linked to an appropriate control sequence or sequences. Alternatively, the sequence for integration may provide a regulatory function. Accordingly, the size of the sequence for integration can and will vary. In general, the sequence for integration may range from about one nucleotide to several million nucleotides.
  • The donor polynucleotide also comprises upstream and downstream sequence flanking the sequence to be integrated. The upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide are selected to promote recombination between the chromosomal sequence of interest and the donor polynucleotide. The upstream sequence, as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid sequence that shares sequence similarity with the chromosomal sequence upstream of the targeted site of integration. Similarly, the downstream sequence refers to a nucleic acid sequence that shares sequence similarity with the chromosomal sequence downstream of the targeted site of integration. The upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide may share about 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% sequence identity with the targeted chromosomal sequence. In other embodiments, the upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide may share about 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence identity with the targeted chromosomal sequence. In an exemplary embodiment, the upstream and downstream sequences in the donor polynucleotide may share about 99% or 100% sequence identity with the targeted chromosomal sequence.
  • An upstream or downstream sequence may comprise from about 20 bp to about 2500 bp. In various embodiments, an upstream or downstream sequence may comprise about 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, or 2500 bp. An exemplary upstream or downstream sequence may comprise about 200 bp to about 2000 bp, about 600 bp to about 1000 bp, or more particularly about 700 bp to about 1000 bp.
  • In some embodiments, the donor polynucleotide may further comprise a marker. Such a marker may make it easy to screen for targeted integrations. Non-limiting examples of suitable markers include restriction sites, fluorescent proteins, or selectable markers.
  • One of skill in the art would be able to construct a donor polynucleotide as described herein using well-known standard recombinant techniques (see, for example, Sambrook et al., 2001 and Ausubel et al., 1996).
  • In the method detailed above for editing a chromosomal sequence by integrating a sequence, the double stranded break introduced into the chromosomal sequence by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired, via homologous recombination with the donor polynucleotide, such that the sequence is integrated into the chromosome. The presence of a double-stranded break facilitates integration of the sequence. A donor polynucleotide may be physically integrated or, alternatively, the donor polynucleotide may be used as a template for repair of the break, resulting in the introduction of the sequence as well as all or part of the upstream and downstream sequences of the donor polynucleotide into the chromosome. Thus, the endogenous chromosomal sequence may be converted to the sequence of the donor polynucleotide.
  • (d) Introducing Nucleic Acid into a Cell
  • To mediate zinc finger nuclease genome editing, at least one nucleic acid molecule encoding a zinc finger nuclease and, optionally, at least one exchange polynucleotide or at least one donor polynucleotide is introduced into a cell. As used herein, the term “cell” encompasses any animal cell that comprises a chromosomal sequence. In some embodiments, the term “cell” may refer to an embryo. In certain exemplary embodiments, the embryo is a fertilized one-cell stage embryo. In other exemplary embodiments, the embryo may be an embryo of any stage.
  • Suitable methods of introducing the nucleic acids to the embryo or cell may include microinjection, electroporation, sonoporation, biolistics, calcium phosphate-mediated transfection, cationic transfection, liposome transfection, dendrimer transfection, heat shock transfection, nucleofection transfection, magnetofection, lipofection, impalefection, optical transfection, proprietary agent-enhanced uptake of nucleic acids, and delivery via liposomes, immunoliposomes, virosomes, or artificial virions. In one embodiment, the nucleic acids may be introduced into an embryo by microinjection. The nucleic acids may be microinjected into the nucleus or the cytoplasm of the embryo. In another embodiment, the nucleic acids may be introduced into a cell by nucleofection.
  • In embodiments in which both a nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease and an exchange (or donor) polynucleotide are introduced into an embryo or cell, the ratio of exchange (or donor) polynucleotide to nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may range from about 1:10 to about 10:1. In various embodiments, the ratio of exchange (or donor) polynucleotide to nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease may be about 1:10, 1:9, 1:8, 1:7, 1:6, 1:5, 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, or 10:1. In one embodiment, the ratio may be about 1:1.
  • In embodiments in which more than one nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease and, optionally, more than one exchange (or donor) polynucleotide is introduced into an embryo or cell, the nucleic acids may be introduced simultaneously or sequentially. For example, nucleic acids encoding the zinc finger nucleases, each specific for a distinct recognition sequence, as well as the optional exchange (or donor) polynucleotides, may be introduced at the same time. Alternatively, each nucleic acid encoding a zinc finger nuclease, as well as the optional exchange (or donor) polynucleotides, may be introduced sequentially.
  • In one embodiment, at least one nucleic acid molecule encoding a zinc finger nuclease is introduced into a cell. In another embodiment, at least 2, 3, 4, 5, or more than 5 nucleic acid molecules encoding a zinc finger nuclease are introduced into a cell. In each of the above embodiments, one or more corresponding donor or exchange polynucleotides may also be introduced into the cell, in a ratio from about 1:10 to about 10:1 donor or exchange polynucleotides to zinc finger nuclease nucleic acids, as described above.
  • (e) Culturing the Cell
  • A method for editing a chromosomal sequence using a zinc finger nuclease-mediated process as described herein further comprises culturing the cell comprising the introduced nucleic acid(s) to allow expression of the at least one zinc finger nuclease.
  • Cells comprising the introduced nucleic acids may be cultured using standard procedures to allow expression of the zinc finger nuclease. Standard cell culture techniques are described, for example, in Santiago et al. (2008) PNAS 105:5809-5814; Moehle et al. (2007) PNAS 104:3055-3060; Urnov et al. (2005) Nature 435:646-651; and Lombardo et al (2007) Nat. Biotechnology 25:1298-1306. Those of skill in the art appreciate that methods for culturing cells are known in the art and can and will vary depending on the cell type or cell species. Routine optimization may be used, in all cases, to determine the best techniques for a particular cell type.
  • In one embodiment where the cell is an embryo, the embryo may be cultured in vitro (e.g., in cell culture). Typically, the embryo is cultured for a short period of time at an appropriate temperature and in appropriate media with the necessary O2/CO2 ratio to allow the expression of the zinc finger nuclease. A skilled artisan will appreciate that culture conditions can and will vary depending on the embryo species. Routine optimization may be used, in all cases, to determine the best culture conditions for a particular species of embryo. In some cases, a cell line may be derived from an in vitro-cultured embryo (e.g., an embryonic stem cell line).
  • Preferably, the embryo will be cultured in vivo by transferring the embryo into the uterus of a female host. Generally speaking, the female host is from the same or a similar species as the embryo. Preferably, the female host is pseudo-pregnant. Methods of preparing pseudo-pregnant female hosts are known in the art. Additionally, methods of transferring an embryo into a female host are known. Culturing an embryo in vivo permits the embryo to develop and may result in a live birth of an animal derived from the embryo. Such an animal generally will comprise the disrupted chromosomal sequence(s) in every cell of its body.
  • Upon expression of the at least one zinc finger nuclease in a cell, the chromosomal sequence of the cell may be edited. In cases in which the cell comprises an expressed zinc finger nuclease but no exchange (or donor) polynucleotide, the zinc finger nuclease recognizes, binds, and cleaves the target sequence in the chromosomal sequence of interest. The double-stranded break introduced by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired by an error-prone non-homologous end-joining DNA repair process. Consequently, a deletion, or insertion resulting in a missense or nonsense mutation may be introduced in the chromosomal sequence such that the sequence is inactivated.
  • In cases in which the embryo or cell comprises an expressed zinc finger nuclease as well as an exchange (or donor) polynucleotide, the zinc finger nuclease recognizes, binds, and cleaves the target sequence in the chromosome. The double-stranded break introduced by the zinc finger nuclease is repaired, via homologous recombination with the exchange (or donor) polynucleotide, such that a portion of the chromosomal sequence is converted to the sequence in the exchange polynucleotide or the sequence in the donor polynucleotide is integrated into the chromosomal sequence. As a consequence, the chromosomal sequence is edited.
  • The genetically modified animals disclosed herein may be crossbred to create animals comprising more than one edited chromosomal sequence or to create animals that are homozygous for one or more edited chromosomal sequences. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that many combinations are possible. Moreover, the genetically modified animals disclosed herein may be crossed with other animals to combine the edited chromosomal sequence with other genetic backgrounds. By way of non-limiting example, suitable genetic backgrounds include wild-type, natural mutations giving rise to known phenotypes, targeted chromosomal integration, non-targeted integrations, etc.
  • (f) Types of Chromosomal Edits
  • As stated above, a method of the invention may be used to (1) inactivate a chromosomal sequence, (2) modify a chromosomal sequence, or (3) integrate a sequence into a chromosome. Each of these is discussed in more detail below.
  • i. Inactivate a Sequence
  • In one embodiment, an edited chromosomal sequence may be inactivated such that the sequence is not transcribed, the coded protein is not produced, or the sequence does not function as the wild-type sequence does. For example, a protein coding sequence may be inactivated such that the protein is not produced. Alternatively, a microRNA coding sequence may be inactivated such that the microRNA is not produced. Furthermore, a control sequence may be inactivated such that it no longer functions as a control sequence. As used herein, “control sequence” refers to any nucleic acid sequence that effects the transcription, translation, or accessibility of a nucleic acid sequence. By way of non-limiting example, a promoter, a transcription terminator, and an enhancer are control sequences. The inactivated chromosomal sequence may include a deletion mutation (i.e., deletion of one or more nucleotides), an insertion mutation (i.e., insertion of one or more nucleotides), or a nonsense mutation (i.e., substitution of a single nucleotide for another nucleotide such that a stop codon is introduced). In some embodiments, a chromosomal sequence that is inactivated may be termed a “knock-out.” In an interation of the invention, a “knock-out” animal created by a method of the invention does not comprise any exogenous sequence.
  • ii. Modify a Sequence
  • In another embodiment, an edited chromosomal sequence may be modified such that it codes for an altered gene product or the function of the sequence is altered. A chromosomal sequence encoding a protein may be modified to include at least one changed nucleotide such that the codon comprising the changed nucleotide codes for a different amino acid. The resultant protein, therefore, comprises at least one amino acid change. Moreover, a protein coding sequence may be modified by insertions or deletions such that the reading from of the sequence is not altered and a modified protein is produced. In such embodiments, the modified sequence may result in a phenotype change.
  • Alternatively, a chromosomal sequence that functions as a control sequence may be modified. For instance, a promoter may be modified such that it is always active or is regulated by an exogenous signal.
  • In yet another embodiment, at least one chromosomal sequence encoding a protein of interest may be edited such that the expression pattern of the protein is altered. For example, regulatory regions controlling the expression of the protein, such as a promoter or transcription factor binding site, may be altered such that the protein of interest is over-produced, or the tissue-specific or temporal expression of the protein is altered, or a combination thereof.
  • iii. Integrate a Sequence
  • In yet another embodiment, an edited chromosomal sequence may comprise an integrated sequence. Such a sequence may encode an endogenous protein, an exogenous or heterologous protein, a wild-type protein, a modified protein, a fusion protein, a microRNA, or the like. An integrated protein coding sequence may be linked to a reporter sequence (the reporter sequence may be linked 5′ or 3′ to the protein coding sequence). An integrated protein coding sequence may also be placed under control of an endogenous promoter, may be operably linked to an exogenous promoter, or may be fused in-frame with an endogenous protein coding sequence. Additionally, the integrated sequence may function as a control element. Accordingly, the integrated sequence may be endogenous or exogenous to the cell. An animal or cell comprising such an integrated sequence may be termed “knock-in.” In one iteration of the above embodiments, it should be understood that no selectable marker is present.
  • In certain embodiments, a sequence may be integrated to alter the expression pattern of a protein of interest. For instance, a conditional knock-out system may be created.
  • A. Conditional Mutations
  • In certain embodiments, a sequence may be edited to alter the expression pattern of a protein of interest. For instance, a conditional knock-out system may be created.
  • As used herein, a “conditional knock-out” system is a model where the expression of a nucleic acid molecule is disrupted in a particular organ, tissue, or cell type, as opposed to the entire animal, and/or in a temporally controlled manner. A conditional knock-out allows, for example, the study of a gene function even when global disruption of the gene is lethal.
  • A non-limiting example of a conditional knock-out system includes a Cre-lox recombination system. A Cre-lox recombination system comprises a Cre recombinase enzyme, a site-specific DNA recombinase that can catalyse the recombination of a nucleic acid sequence between specific sites (lox sites) in a nucleic acid molecule. Methods of using this system to produce temporal and tissue specific expression are known in the art. In general, a genetically modified cell is generated with lox sites flanking a chromosomal sequence of interest. A genetically modified animal comprising a cell with the lox-flanked chromosomal sequence of interest may then be crossed with another genetically modified animal expressing Cre recombinase in one or more cells. Progeny animals comprising one or more cells comprising a lox-flanked chromosomal sequence and one or more cells comprising a Cre recombinase are then produced. In the cells that comprise both a lox-flanked chromosomal sequence and a Cre recombinase, the lox-flanked chromosomal sequence encoding a protein of interest is recombined, leading to deletion or inversion of the chromosomal sequence encoding the protein of interest. Expression of Cre recombinase may be temporally and conditionally regulated to effect temporally and conditionally regulated recombination of the chromosomal sequence encoding the protein of interest.
  • A. Integrations that Disrupt an Endogenous Locus
  • In another embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to integrate a mutation that disrupts an endogenous locus. For instance, a chromosomal sequence may be disrupted by the substitution of an exogenous sequence for an endogenous sequence, such that the exogenous sequence is under the control of the endogenous promoter. In these embodiments, the disrupted endogenous sequence would not be expressed, but the integrated exogenous sequence would be expressed. The exogenous sequence may be a homolog of the endogenous sequence. For instance, the exogenous sequence may be a human sequence when the endogenous sequence is non-human. In some embodiments, the exogenous sequence may be unrelated to the endogenous sequence it is replacing. For instance, an endogenous sequence may be substituted for an exogenous marker such that when the endogenous promoter is active, the marker is detectable. In some embodiments, the marker may be an enzymatic marker that can amplify the detectable signal of the marker.
  • Alternatively, in some embodiments a method of the invention may be used to substitute an endogenous promoter or other regulatory sequence with an exogenous promoter or regulator sequence. In these embodiments, the expression pattern of the locus would be dictated by the exogenous promoter or regulatory sequence, as opposed to the endogenous promoter or regulatory sequence. Such an exogenous promoter or regulatory sequence may be a homolog of the endogenous promoter or regulatory sequence. For instance, the exogenous sequence may be a human sequence when the endogenous sequence is non-human. In some embodiments, the exogenous sequence may be unrelated to the endogenous sequence it is replacing.
  • C. Integration of an Exogenous Nucleic Acid Sequence
  • Alternatively, instead of disrupting a locus, a method of the invention may be used to integrate an exogenous sequence, with or without a promoter, into a chromosomal sequence without disrupting the expression of an endogenous locus. In some embodiments, such integration may be in a “safe harbor” locus, such as Rosa26 locus in the rat (or an equivalent in another animal) or the HPRT locus on the X chromosome in the rat (or an equivalent in another animal).
  • In one embodiment, a cassette comprising an exogenous promoter operably linked to an exogenous nucleic acid sequence may be integrated into a safe harbor locus. In certain embodiments, the exogenous promoter may be conditional. For instance, a conditional promoter may be a tissue-specific promoter, an organ specific promoter, or a cell-type specific promoter (such as a stem cell promoter, a B-cell promoter, a hair cell promoter, etc.) or an inducible promoter. An inducible promoter, as used herein, is a promoter that is active only in the presence of a particular substance, such as an antibiotic, a drug, or other exogenous compound. In some embodiments, the integration of a cassette comprising a conditional promoter may be used to track cell lineages.
  • In another embodiment, an exogenous nucleic acid sequence may be integrated to serve as a detectable marker for a particular nucleic acid sequence.
  • D. Humanized
  • In an additional embodiment, the genetically modified animal may be a “humanized” animal comprising at least one chromosomally integrated sequence encoding a functional human protein. The functional human protein may have no corresponding ortholog in the genetically modified animal. Alternatively, the wild-type animal from which the genetically modified animal is derived may comprise an ortholog corresponding to the functional human protein. In this case, the orthologous sequence in the “humanized” animal is inactivated such that no endogenous functional protein is made and the “humanized” animal comprises at least one chromosomally integrated sequence encoding the human protein. Those of skill in the art appreciate that “humanized” animals may be generated by crossing a knock-out animal with a knock-in animal comprising the chromosomally integrated sequence.
  • (g) Multiple Chromosomal Edits
  • A further embodiment of the above invention comprises performing a method of the invention serially, such that a cell is developed with more than one chromosomal edit. For instance, an embryo with a first edit may be cultured to produce an animal comprising the first genomic edit. An embryo deriving from this animal may then be used in a method of the invention to create a second genomic edit. The same process may be repeated to create an embryo with three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more than ten genomic edits.
  • Alternatively, a cell with multiple genomic edits may be developed by simultaneously introducing more than one zinc finger nuclease, each specific for a distinct edit site. A corresponding number of donor and/or exchange polynucleotides may optionally be introduced as well. The number of zinc finger nucleases and optional corresponding donor or exchange polynucleotides introduced into a cell may be two, three, four, five or more than five.
  • II. Applications Derived from a Method of the Invention
  • A method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell comprising an edited chromosomal sequence. Such an animal or cell may be used for several different applications, including, for instance, research applications, livestock applications, companion animal applications, or biomolecule production applications. Non-limiting examples of such applications are detailed in sections (a)-(d) below.
  • (a) Research Applications
  • In certain embodiments, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that may be used in research applications. Such applications may include disease models, pharmacological models, developmental models, cellular function models, and humanized models, each of which are detailed below.
  • i. Disease Models
  • A method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that may be used as a disease model. As used herein, “disease” refers to a disease, disorder, or indication in a subject. For instance, in one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that comprises a chromosomal edit in one or more nucleic acid sequences associated with a disease. Such a nucleic acid sequence may encode a disease associated protein sequence or may be a disease associated control sequence.
  • In one embodiment, an animal or cell created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal or cell and development and/or progression of the disease using measures commonly used in the study of the disease. Alternatively, such an animal or cell may be used to study the effect of a pharmaceutically active compound on the disease.
  • In another embodiment, an animal or cell created by a method of the invention may be used to assess the efficacy of a potential gene therapy strategy. That is, a chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with a disease may be modified such that the disease development and/or progression is inhibited or reduced. In particular, the method comprises editing a chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with the disease such that an altered protein is produced and, as a result, the animal or cell has an altered response. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a genetically modified animal may be compared with an animal predisposed to development of the disease such that the effect of the gene therapy event may be assessed.
  • In certain embodiments, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that maybe used as a disease model for a disease listed in Table A. Such an animal or cell may comprise a chromosomal edit in a gene listed in Table A. In another embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that maybe used as a disease model for a disease listed in Table B. Such an animal or cell may comprise a chromosomal edit in a gene listed in Table B. In Table B, a six-digit number following an entry in the Disease/Disorder/Indication column is an OMIM number (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, OMIM™. McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, Md.) and National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine (Bethesda, Md.), available on the World Wide Web. A number in parentheses after the name of each disorder indicates whether the mutation was positioned by mapping the wildtype gene (1), by mapping the disease phenotype itself (2), or by both approaches (3). For example, a “(3)”, includes mapping of the wildtype gene combined with demonstration of a mutation in that gene in association with the disorder.”

Methods for measuring and studying progression of PD in animals are known in the art. Commonly used measures in the study of PD may include without limit, amyloidogenesis or protein aggregation, dopamine response, neurodegeneration, development of mitochondrial related dysfunction phenotypes, as well as functional, pathological or biochemical assays. Other relevant indicators regarding development or progression of PD include coordination, balance, gait, motor impairment, tremors and twitches, rigidity, hypokinesia, and cognitive impairments. Such assays may be made in comparison to wild type littermates.
  • B. Addiction
  • Addiction, as used herein, is defined as a chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory, and related neuronal circuitry contained within various brain structures. Specific examples of brain structures that may experience dysfunction associated with an addiction disorder include nucleus accumbens, ventral pallidum, dorsal thalamus, prefrontal cortex, striatum, substantia nigra, pontine reticular formation, amygdala, and ventral tegmental area. Dysfunction in these neural circuits may lead to various biological, psychological, social and behavioral symptoms of addiction.
  • Biological symptoms of addiction may include overproduction or underproduction of one or more addiction-related proteins; redistribution of one or more addiction-related proteins within the brain; the development of tolerance, reverse tolerance, or other changes in sensitivity to the effects of an addictive substance or a neurotransmitter within the brain; high blood pressure; and withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, restlessness, loss of appetite, depression, weakness, irritability, anger, pain, and craving.
  • Psychological symptoms of addiction may vary depending on the particular addictive substance and the duration of the addiction. Non-limiting examples of psychological symptoms of addiction include mood swings, paranoia, insomnia, psychosis, schizophrenia, tachycardia panic attacks, cognitive impairments, and drastic changes in the personality that can lead to aggressive, compulsive, criminal and/or erratic behaviors.
  • Social symptoms of addiction may include low self-esteem, verbal hostility, ignorance of interpersonal means, focal anxiety such as fear of crowds, rigid interpersonal behavior, grossly bizarre behavior, rebelliousness, and diminished recognition of significant problems with an individual's behaviors and interpersonal relationships.
  • Non-limiting examples of behavioral symptoms of addiction include impairment in behavioral control, inability to consistently abstain from the use of addictive substances, cycles of relapse and remission, risk-taking behavior, pleasure-seeking behavior, novelty-seeking behavior, relief-seeking behavior, and reward-seeking behavior.
  • Addictions may be substance addictions typically associated with the ingestion of addictive substances. Addictive substances may include psychoactive substances capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and temporarily altering the chemical milieu of the brain. Non-limiting examples of addictive substances include alcohol; opioid compounds such as opium and heroin; sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic compounds such as benzodiazepine and barbiturate compounds; cocaine and related compounds; cannabis and related compounds; amphetamine and amphetamine-like compounds; hallucinogen compounds; inhalants such as glue or aerosol propellants; phencyclidine or phencyclidine-like compounds; and nicotine. In addition, addictions may be behavioral addictions associated with compulsions that are not substance-related, such as problem gambling and computer addiction.
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one addiction-related chromosomal sequence has been edited. Suitable edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • Addiction-related nucleic acid sequences are a diverse set of sequences associated with susceptibility for developing an addiction, the presence of an addiction, the severity of an addiction or any combination thereof. An addiction-related nucleic acid sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the addiction-related nucleic acid sequence to an addiction disorder. An addiction-related nucleic acid sequence may encode an addiction-related protein or may be an addiction-related control sequence. By way of non-limiting example, the production rate or circulating concentration of an addiction-related protein may be elevated or depressed in a population having an addiction disorder relative to a population lacking the addiction disorder. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.

For instance, suitable disease measures may include behavioral, electrophysiological, neurochemical, biochemical, or cellular dysfunctions which can be evaluated using any of a number of well-known diagnostic tests or assays.
  • E. Alzheimer's Disease
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with Alheimer's disease (AD) has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In some embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with AD may be edited. The AD-related nucleic acid sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the AD-related nucleic acid sequence to an AD disorder. An AD-related nucleic acid sequence may encode an AD-related protein or may be an AD-related control sequence. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of an AD-related protein may be elevated or depressed in a population having an AD disorder relative to a population lacking the AD disorder. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.
  • By way of non-limiting example, proteins associated with AD include but are not limited to the very low density lipoprotein receptor protein (VLDLR) encoded by the VLDLR gene, the ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 1 (UBA1) encoded by the UBA1 gene, the NEDD8-activating enzyme E1 catalytic subunit protein (UBE1C) encoded by the UBA3 gene, the aquaporin 1 protein (AQP1) encoded by the AQP1 gene, the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 protein (UCHL1) encoded by the UCHL1 gene, the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L3 protein (UCHL3) encoded by the UCHL3 gene, the ubiquitin B protein (UBB) encoded by the UBB gene, the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) encoded by the MAPT gene, the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type A protein (PTPRA) encoded by the PTPRA gene, the phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) encoded by the PICALM gene, the clusterin protein (also known as apoplipoprotein J) encoded by the CLU gene, the presenilin 1 protein encoded by the PSEN1 gene, the presenilin 2 protein encoded by the PSEN2 gene, the sortilin-related receptor L (DLR class) A repeats-containing protein (SORL1) protein encoded by the SORL1 gene, the amyloid precursor protein (APP) encoded by the APP gene, the Apolipoprotein E precursor (APOE) encoded by the APOE gene, or the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) encoded by the BDNF gene, or combinations thereof.
  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and development and/or progression of AD using measures commonly used in the study of AD. Commonly used measures in the study of AD include without limit, learning and memory, anxiety, depression, addiction, and sensory-motor functions, as well as functional, pathological, metabolic, or biochemical assays. Those of skill in the art are familiar with other suitable measures or indicators of AD. In general, such measures may be made in comparison to wild type littermates.
  • Other measures of behavior may include assessments of spontaneous behavior. Spontaneous behavior may be assessed using any one or more methods of spontaneous behavioral observations known in the art. In general, any spontaneous behavior within a known behavioral repertoire of an animal may be observed, including movement, posture, social interaction, rearing, sleeping, blinking, eating, drinking, urinating, defecating, mating, and aggression. An extensive battery of observations for quantifying the spontaneous behavior of mice and rats is well-known in the art, including but not limited to home-cage observations such as body position, respiration, tonic involuntary movement, unusual motor behavior such as pacing or rocking, catatonic behavior, vocalization, palpebral closure, mating frequency, running wheel behavior, nest building, and frequency of aggressive interactions.
  • In another embodiment, the animals of the invention may be used to study the effects of the mutations on the progression of a disease state or disorder other than AD, but which is also associated with AD-related proteins, using measures commonly used in the study of said disease state or disorder. Non limiting examples of disease states or disorders other than AD that may be associated with AD-related proteins include dementia, congenital cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation such as learning and memory defects, lissencephaly, tauopathy or fibrilization, amyloidosis, neurodegeneration, Parkinsonism, progressive supranuclear palsy, Pick disease, male infertility, prostate and breast cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, leukemia, and atherosclerosis.
  • Yet another aspect encompasses a method for assessing the efficacy of a potential gene therapy strategy. That is, a chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with AD may be modified such that the genetically modified animal may have an altered response to the development and/or progression of AD as compared to a non treated animal. Stated another way, a mutated gene that predisposes an animal to AD may be “corrected” through gene therapy.
  • F. Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In each of the above embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with ASD may be edited. An ASD associated protein or control sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the protein or control sequence to an incidence or indication of an ASD. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a protein associated with ASD may be elevated or depressed in a population having an ASD relative to a population lacking the ASD. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.
  • The identity of the protein associated with ASD whose chromosomal sequence is edited can and will vary. In preferred embodiments, the proteins associated with ASD whose chromosomal sequence is edited may be the benzodiazapine receptor (peripheral) associated protein 1 (BZRAP1) encoded by the BZRAP1 gene, the AF4/FMR2 family member 2 protein (AFF2) encoded by the AFF2 gene (also termed MFR2), the fragile X mental retardation autosomal homolog 1 protein (FXR1) encoded by the FXR1 gene, the fragile X mental retardation autosomal homolog 2 protein (FXR2) encoded by the FXR2 gene, the MAM domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 2 protein (MDGA2) encoded by the MDGA2 gene, the methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) encoded by the MECP2 gene, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (MGLUR5) encoded by the MGLUR5-1 gene (also termed GRM5), the neurexin 1 protein encoded by the NRXN1 gene, or the semaphorin-5A protein (SEMA5A) encoded by the SEMA5A gene.
  • The edited or integrated chromosomal sequence may be modified to encode an altered protein associated with ASD. Non-limiting examples of mutations in proteins associated with ASD include the L18Q mutation in neurexin 1 where the leucine at position 18 is replaced with a glutamine, the R451C mutation in neuroligin 3 where the arginine at position 451 is replaced with a cysteine, the R87W mutation in neuroligin 4 where the arginine at position 87 is replaced with a tryptophan, and the 1425V mutation in serotonin transporter where the isoleucine at position 425 is replaced with a valine. A number of other mutations and chromosomal rearrangements in ASD-related chromosomal sequences have been associated with ASD and are known in the art. See, for example, Freitag et al. (2010) Eur. Child. Adolesc. Psychiatry 19:169-178, and Bucan et al. (2009) PLoS Genetics 5: e1000536, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and development and/or progression of ASD using measures commonly used in the study of ASD.

Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In each of the above embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with MD may be edited. A MD-associated protein or control sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the protein associated with MD to an MD disorder. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a protein associated with MD may be elevated or depressed in a population having an MD disorder relative to a population lacking the MD disorder. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.
  • The identity of the protein associated with MD whose chromosomal sequence is edited can and will vary. In preferred embodiments, the proteins associated with MD whose chromosomal sequence is edited may be the ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1) member 4 protein (ABCA4) encoded by the ABCR gene, the apolipoprotein E protein (APOE) encoded by the APOE gene, the chemokine (C-C motif) Ligand 2 protein (CCL2) encoded by the CCL2 gene, the chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2 protein (CCR2) encoded by the CCR2 gene, the ceruloplasmin protein (CP) encoded by the CP gene, the cathepsin D protein (CTSD) encoded by the CTSD gene, or the metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 protein (TIMP3) encoded by the TIMP3 gene.
  • In certain embodiments, a genetically modified animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the progression of MD using measures commonly used in the study of MD. Alternatively, the genetically modified animals of the invention may be used to study the effects of the mutations on the progression of a disease state or disorder associated with proteins associated with MD using measures commonly used in the study of said disease state or disorder. Non-limiting examples of measures that may be used include drusen accumulation, lipofuscin accumulation, thickening of Bruch's membrane, retinal degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, differential responses to a compound, abnormalities in tissues or cells, biochemical or molecular differences between genetically modified animals and wild type animals or a combination thereof.

  • In each of the above embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with schizophrenia may be edited. A schizophrenia-associated protein or control sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the protein associated with schizophrenia to the development or progression of schizophrenia. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a protein associated with schizophrenia may be elevated or depressed in a population having schizophrenia relative to a population not having schizophrenia. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art. Exemplary non-limiting examples of chromosomal sequences associated with schizophrenia include NRG1, ErbB4, CPLX1, TPH1, TPH2, NRXN1, GSK3A, BDNF, DISC1, GSK3B, and combinations thereof, each of which is described in more detail below.
  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and development and/or progression of MD using measures commonly used in the study of MD.
  • The incidence or indication of the schizophrenia or related disorder may occur spontaneously in the genetically modified animal. Alternatively, the incidence or indication of the schizophrenia or related disorder may be promoted by exposure to a disruptive agent. Non-limiting examples of disruptive agents include a protein associated with schizophrenia such as any of those described above, a drug, a toxin, a chemical, an activated retrovirus, and an environmental stress. Non-limiting examples of environmental stresses include forced swimming, cold swimming, platform shaker stimuli, loud noises, and immobilization stress.
  • I. Tumor Suppression
  • Tumor suppression genes are genes whose protein products protect a cell from one step on the path to cancer. A mutation in a tumor suppressor gene may cause a loss or reduction in the protective function of its protein product, thereby increasing the probability that a tumor will form, leading to cancer, usually in combination with other genetic changes. The proteins encoded by tumor suppressor genes have a dampening or repressive effect on the regulation of the cell cycle or promote apoptosis, and sometimes both. Tumor suppressor proteins are involved in the repression of genes essential for the continuing cell cycle; coupling the cell cycle to DNA damage so that the cell cycle can continue; initiating apoptosis in the cell if the damage cannot be repaired; and cell adhesion to prevent tumors from dispersing, blocking a loss of contact inhibition, and inhibiting metastasis.
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with tumor suppression has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In each of the above embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with tumor suppression may be edited. A tumor suppression-associated protein or control sequence may typically selected based on an experimental association of the protein of interest with a cancer. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a protein associated with tumor suppression may be elevated or depressed in a population having cancer relative to a population not having cancer. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.

  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and on tumor suppression using measures commonly used in the study of tumor suppression. In one embodiment, a genetically modified animal comprising an inactivated chromosomal sequence involved with tumor suppression may be used to determine susceptibility to developing tumors. The method comprises exposing the genetically modified animal comprising an inactivated tumor suppressor sequence and a wild-type animal to a carcinogenic agent, and then monitoring the development of tumors. The animal comprising the inactivated tumor suppressor sequence may have an increased risk for tumor formation. Moreover, an animal homozygous for the inactivated tumor suppressor sequence may have increased risk relative to an animal heterozygous for the same inactivated sequence, which in turn may have increased risk relative to a wild-type animal. A similar method may be used to screen for spontaneous tumors, wherein the animals described above are not exposed to a carcinogenic agent.
  • In another embodiment, an animal comprising an inactivated chromosomal sequence associated with tumor suppression may be used to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of a test agent. The method comprises contacting the genetically modified animal comprising an inactivated tumor suppressor sequence and a wild-type animal to the test agent, and then monitoring the development of tumors. If the animal comprising an inactivated tumor suppressor sequence has an increased incidence of tumors relative to the wild-type animal, the test agent may be carcinogenic.
  • J. Secretase Associated Disorders
  • Secretases make up a diverse set of proteins that affect susceptibility for numerous disorders, the presence of a disorder, the severity of a disorder, or any combination thereof. Secretases are enzymes that clip off smaller pieces of another transmembrane protein. Secretases are implicated in many disorders including, for example, Alzheimer's discase. In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with secretase associated disorders has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In each of the above embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with a secretase associated disorder may be edited. A secretase associated disorder-associated protein or control sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the secretase-related proteins with the development of a secretase disorder. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a protein associated with a secretase disorder may be elevated or depressed in a population with a secretase disorder relative to a population without a secretase disorder. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.

For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a prion disorder-related protein or isoform may be elevated or depressed in a population having a prion disorder relative to a population lacking the prion disorder. Differences in protein or certain isoform levels may be assessed using proteomic techniques including but not limited to Western blot, immunohistochemical staining, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and mass spectrometry. Alternatively, the prion disorder-related proteins may be identified by obtaining gene expression profiles of the genes encoding the proteins using genomic techniques including but not limited to DNA microarray analysis, serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR).

  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and development and/or progression of a prion disorder using measures commonly used in the study of prion disorders.
  • M. Immunodeficiency
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with immunodeficiency has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In each of the above embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with immunodeficiency may be edited. An immunodeficiency protein or control sequence is a protein or control sequence for which an alteration in activity is linked to an immunodeficiency, which may be the primary or a secondary symptom of an animal disease or condition, preferably a mammalian, e.g., a human, disease or condition. An immunodeficiency sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the immunodeficiency sequence to an immunodeficiency disease or condition, especially a mammalian, e.g., a human, disease or condition. For example, the expression of an immunodeficiency protein in a particular tissue may be elevated or depressed in a population having an immunodeficiency disease or condition relative to a population lacking the disease or condition. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.

  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and development and/or progression of an immunodeficiency using measures commonly used in the study of immunodeficiencies.
  • It should be understood that the genetically modified animals, e.g., knock-out and transgenic animals created by a method of the invention may include genes altered singly or in combination, including alteration to any one or more of Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, and DNAPK. Accordingly, for example, animals including a single, double or triple gene knock-out are contemplated. Any of these may be used in various methods in which alteration of one or more immunodeficiency genes may be useful. For example, genetically modified animals as described herein may be used in studies of hematopoietic cells, such as in the identification of progenitor cells including lymphoid progenitors and pluripotential stem cells; in the identification of new cytokines which play a role in the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells; in the analysis of the effect of known cytokines; and in the analysis of drugs effects on hematopoietic cells. Such animals can also be used in studies on pathogenetic mechanisms in disease caused by viral infections such as but not limited to influenza, West Nile virus, herpesviruses, picornaviruses, neurotropic coronavirus, Varicella-zoster (chicken pox), respiratory syncytial virus, cowpox, hepatitis B, rabies, and Dengue virus, and lymphotropic viruses including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1), and Epstein Barr virus (EBV), and also a virus that specifically infects rats but models the effects of a human-specific virus on its host, for example the rat-adapted influenza virus (see, e.g., H. Lebrec and G. R. Burleson (1994) Toxicology. July 1; 91(2):179-88).
  • In other embodiments, a genetically modified animal created by a method of the invention may also be useful in studies of defense mechanisms against microorganisms that cause disease in immunocompromised patients, wherein the microorganism may be cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystic carinii or Candida species. Genetically modified animals, such as for example knock-out rats can be subjects for pre-clinical evaluation of a specific “gene therapy”. For example, genes may be introduced into hematopoietic progenitor cells, preferably into pluripotential stem cells with self-renewal capacity from patients with inherited genetic defects, or into pluripotential stem cells with self-renewal capacity from rat models of inherited genetic defects, and the cells re-introduced into the genetically modified rats for the purpose of determining therapeutic usefulness of the modified cells. Genetically modified animals may also be useful for studying the biological mechanisms underlying immunodeficiency diseases and conditions caused by or linked to a mutation in an immunodeficiency gene such as Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK.
  • Furthermore, a genetically modified animal created by a method of the invention may be used to develop a diagnostic assay for an immunodeficiency disorder including but not limited to a leukemia, in which the animal, either untreated or previously treated with a therapeutic agent, is assessed for the presence of one or more biomarkers relative to a non-affected control animal. Such a genetically modified animal may be used in a method of screening a candidate therapy or therapeutic compound for treating an immunodeficiency disorder such as a leukemia, using a genetically modified animal in which one or more immunodeficiency genes including but not limited to Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK are knocked out, and the animal, either untreated or previously treated with another therapeutic agent which may be a drug, microbe, transplanted cells, or other agent, is then treated with the candidate therapy or candidate therapeutic agent, a biological sample is obtained from the animal, and the biological sample evaluated relative to a sample from a non-affected wild-type control sample, or a sample from a genetically modified animal not subjected to the candidate therapy or therapeutic agent.
  • In still further embodiments, a method for modeling an autoimmune disease may involve the adoptive transfer of B cells reacting to an antigen for an autoimmune disease, or T cells activated for an autoimmune disease. The appropriate non-human mammal with the antigen target of the autoimmune disease can be immunized as follows.
  • Immune cells may be prepared from the immunized animal and may be then transplanted to a genetically modified animal as described herein such as a Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK knock-out rat, or a rat with any combination of these genes knocked out. The development of autoimmune phenotypes in the recipient knock-out animal may then evaluated as compared to either a non-transplanted knock-out animal, or as compared to a knock-out animal transplanted with non-pathologic immune cells that lack auto-reactivity, or as compared to a wild type animal transplanted with immune cells as described above.
  • In some embodiments, a method for creating a combined immunodeficiency syndrome model may include providing a genetically modified animal such as a rat wherein Rag1, Rag2, FoxN1, or DNAPK are knocked out as described herein, and the knock-out animal may be further rendered deficient for natural killer (NK) cells by any one of several possible methods. Non-limiting examples of methods of rendering the knock-out animal deficient for NK include i) disruption of the Lyst gene; or ii) treatment of FoxN1 mutant animals with a compound that inhibits NK cell activity including but not limited to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), statins, allosteric LFA-1 inhibitors, vinblastine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, cladribine, chlorambucil, bortezomib, or MG-132.
  • N. Trinucleotide Repeat Disorders
  • Trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders are divided into two categories determined by the type of repeat. The most common repeat is the triplet CAG, which, when present in the coding region of a gene, codes for the amino acid glutamine (Q). Therefore, these disorders are referred to as the polyglutamine (polyQ) disorders and may include Huntington Disease (HD); Spinobulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA); Spinocerebellar Ataxias ( SCA types 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 17); and Dentatorubro-Pallidoluysian Atrophy (DRPLA). Other trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders either do not involve the CAG triplet, or the CAG triplet is not in the coding region of the gene and are referred to as the non-polyglutamine disorders. Non-polyglutamine disorders may include Fragile X Syndrome (FRAXA); Fragile XE Mental Retardation (FRAXE); Friedreich Ataxia (FRDA); Myotonic Dystrophy (DM); and Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCA types 8, and 12).
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create a genetically modified animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with a trinucleotide repeat disorder has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In each of the above embodiments, one or more chromosomal sequences associated with a trinucleotide repeat disorder may be edited. A trinucleotide repeat disorder associated protein or control sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the protein or sequence to a trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder. Trinucleotide repeat expansion proteins may include proteins associated with susceptibility for developing a trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder, the presence of a trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder, the severity of a trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder or any combination thereof. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a protein associated with a trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder may be elevated or depressed in a population having a trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder relative to a population lacking the trinucleotide repeat expansion disorder. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.

  • Exemplary neurotransmission-related proteins include 5-HTT (5-hydroxyltryptamine transporter), SLC6A4 (Solute carrier family 6, member 4), COMT (Catechol-O-methyltransferase), DRD1A (Dopamine receptor D1A), SLC6A3 (Solute carrier family 6, member 3), DAO1 (D-amino-acid oxidase), DTNBP1 (Dystrobrevin binding protein 1), and any combination thereof.
  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and on the development and/or progression of a neurotransmission disorder using measures commoningly used in the study of a neurotransmission disorder.
  • ii. Pharmacological Models
  • A method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that may be used as a pharmacological model. Such a pharmacological model may be a model for pharmacokinetics or a model for pharmacodynamics. For instance, in one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that comprises a chromosomal edit in one or more nucleic acid sequences associated with the metabolism of a pharmaceutically active compound. Such an animal or cell may be used to study the effect of the nucleic acid sequence on the pharmaceutical compound.
  • Alternatively, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that comprises a chromosomal edit in a disease associated sequence. Such an animal or cell may be used for assessing the effect(s) of a therapeutic agent in the development or progression of the disease. For example, the effect(s) of a therapeutic agent may be measured in a “humanized” animal, such that the information gained therefrom may be used to predict the effect of the agent in a human. In general, the method comprises contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with the disease with the therapeutic agent, and comparing results of a selected parameter to results obtained from contacting a wild-type animal with the same agent. Non-limiting examples of suitable diseases include those listed in section II(a)i.
  • Also provided are methods to assess the effect(s) of an agent in an isolated cell comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence encoding a protein associated with a disease, as well as methods of using lysates of such cells (or cells derived from a genetically modified animal disclosed herein) to assess the effect(s) of an agent. For example, the role of a particular protein associated with a disease in the metabolism of a particular agent may be determined using such methods. Similarly, substrate specificity and pharmacokinetic parameters may be readily determined using such methods. Those of skill in the art are familiar with suitable tests and/or procedures.
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with toxicology has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above. Any chromosomal sequence or protein involved in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) and toxicology may be utilized for purposes of the present invention. The ADME and toxicology-related proteins are typically selected based on an experimental association of the protein to an ADME and toxicology-related disorder. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of an ADME and toxicology-related protein may be elevated or depressed in a population having an ADME and toxicology disorder relative to a population lacking the ADME and toxicology disorder. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.
  • Exemplary non-limiting examples of the chromosomal sequence or protein involved in ADME and toxicology may be chosen from Oct 1, Oct 2, Hfe2, Ppar(alpha) MDR1a (ABC Transporter ABCB1a), MDR1b (ABCB1b), BCRP (ABCC1), MRP1 (ABCG2), MRP2 (ABCC2, cMOAT), and combinations thereof.
  • A further aspect of the present disclosure encompasses a method for assessing the effect(s) of an agent. Suitable agents include without limit pharmaceutically active ingredients, drugs, food additives, pesticides, herbicides, toxins, industrial chemicals, household chemicals, and other environmental chemicals. For example, the effect(s) of an agent may be measured in a “humanized” genetically modified animal, such that the information gained therefrom may be used to predict the effect of the agent in a human. In general, the method comprises contacting a genetically modified animal comprising at least one inactivated chromosomal sequence involved in ADME and toxicology and at least one chromosomally integrated sequence encoding an orthologous human protein involved in ADME and toxicology with the agent, and comparing results of a selected parameter to results obtained from contacting a wild-type animal with the same agent. Selected parameters include but are not limited to (a) rate of elimination of the agent or its metabolite(s); (b) circulatory levels of the agent or its metabolite(s); (c) bioavailability of the agent or its metabolite(s); (d) rate of metabolism of the agent or its metabolite(s); (e) rate of clearance of the agent or its metabolite(s); (f) toxicity of the agent or its metabolite(s); (g) efficacy of the agent or its metabolite(s); (h) disposition of the agent or its metabolite(s); and (i) extrahepatic contribution to metabolic rate and clearance of the agent or its metabolite(s).
  • Also provided are methods to assess the effect(s) of an agent in an isolated cell comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence involved in ADME and toxicology, as well as methods of using lysates of such cells (or cells derived from a genetically modified animal disclosed herein) to assess the effect(s) of an agent. For example, the role of a particular protein involved in ADME and toxicology in the metabolism of a particular agent may be determined using such methods. Similarly, substrate specificity and pharmacokinetic parameters may be readily determined using such methods. Those of skill in the art are familiar with suitable tests and/or procedures.
  • Among the proteins of interest that are involved in drug ADME and toxicology are the ABC transporters, also known as efflux transport proteins. Thus, for example, the genetically modified animals as described herein containing an edited chromosomal sequences encoding an ABC transporter can be useful for screening biologically active agents including drugs and for investigating their distribution, efficacy, metabolism and/or toxicity. These screening methods are of particular use for assessing with improved predictability the behavior of a drug in a genetically modified animal as described herein, e.g. in a genetically modified rat, as a model for humans. Accordingly, the present disclosure also features a method of assessing the ADME profile of a drug in a genetically modified animal, as part of a drug screening or evaluation process. A candidate therapeutic agent, i.e, a candidate drug can be administered to a genetically modified animal that harbors a targeted gene knock-out and/or an expressed transgene, which was achieved through use of ZFNs. The knock-out or knock-in gene is associated with at least one aspect of the drug ADME profile or toxicology, and/or metabolism, and may be derived from a mouse, rat, or human genome.
  • For example, a method of screening for the target of a test compound can make use of a genetically modified animal in which any one or more of an ABC transporter such as Mdr1a, Mdr1b, PXR, BCRP, MRP1, or MRP2 are knocked out, thus inhibiting or eliminating transmembrane transport mediated by the knocked out protein(s). Such an animal can be exposed to a test compound suspected of inhibiting transporter activity of the knocked-out protein(s). Inhibition of transport by the compound in the genetically modified animal can be determined using any of a number of routine laboratory tests and techniques, and the inhibition of transport may be compared to that observed in a wild-type animal treated with the same test compound. A difference in the effect of the test compound in the two animals can be indicative of the target of the test compound. Further, inhibition of one or more ABC transporter proteins such as Mdr1a, Mdr1b, PXR, BCRP, MRP1, or MRP2, may improve certain ADME characteristics of a candidate therapeutic agent. For example, the absorption or efficacy of a candidate therapeutic compound may be improved by knock-ing out expression of one or more ABC transporter proteins such as Mdr1a, Mdr1b, PXR, BCRP, MRP1, or MRP2, in a particular tissue. It will thus be understood that genetically modified animals and cells as described herein, for example genetically modified animals and cells including a genetic modification of one or more ABC transporter proteins, can be used advantageously in many methods that evaluate the ADME and toxicology characteristics of a candidate therapeutic compound, to identify targets of a test compound, or to identify ways in which the ADME characteristics and toxicology of a candidate compound may be improved.
  • The overwhelming need to accurately predict how drugs and environmental chemicals may affect large populations can be readily appreciated. The genetically modified animals, embryos, cells and cell lines described herein can be used to analyze how various compounds may interact with biological systems. Genetically modified cells and cell lines can be used, for example, to control many of the known complexities in biological systems to improve the predictive ability of cell-based assay systems, such as those used to evaluate new molecular entities and possible drug-drug interactions. More specifically, it is recognized that biological systems typically include multiple components that respond to exposure to new, potentially harmful compounds.
  • The “ADMET system” has been described as including five components. The first component are those biological systems that when disrupted signal the drug metabolism system to turn on, and may include stress response and DNA repair pathways. Once the drug metabolism system is activated “xenosensors” surveil for exogenous molecules that need removal. Detection of an exogenous molecule by the xenosensors then activates a cascade of gene inductions that up-regulate the enzymes responsible for metabolizing exogenous molecules into forms for easier removal. The enzymes of the third ADMET component include Phase I enzymes that include at least three classes of oxidases, of which the best known class is the cytochrome P450 class. Cytochrome 450 enzymes typically add reactive hydroxyl moieties to potential toxins to inactivate and render the toxins more polar (soluble). The fourth component of the ADMET system includes at least seven classes of enzymes that further alter the products of Phase I enzymatic modification. Typically, these enzymes are conjugating enzymes that add hydrophilic moieties to make the now oxidized xenobiotics even more water soluble ADMET, and readily collected and excreted through urine or bile. The last component is the transporter system involving transporter proteins, such as the ABC transporters, that function as molecular pumps to facilitate the movement of the xenobiotics from one tissue to another. The transporter proteins are responsible for moving drugs into a cell, out of a cell, or through a cell.
  • Each component of the ADMET system has its own set of substrate structural specificities, which must be taken into account by any assay. Making predictability an even larger challenge is that, for critical members of each of the five component classes, a constellation of genetic polymorphisms exists in the population and these can dramatically affect activity towards specific xenobiotic chemical structures. The growing field of pharmacogenomics addresses the challenges created by such genetic variation. In addition, gender differences in how the different components of the xenobiotic system respond are also known to play a role in variations in drug metabolism.
  • Thus, genetically modified animals, cells and particularly cell lines as described herein will be useful as the basis for cell-based assays with improved predictive ability with respect to a drug's clinical outcome or a chemical's toxicological problems. Panels of cell lines are expressly contemplated for such a purpose. For example, cell-based assays can be created that are representative of the target tissue where metabolism or toxicity of a drug compound is likely to occur. Presently, standard assays are usually run in transformed cell lines that are derived from the target tissue and have some concordant functional properties. To create even better cell-based assays that are even more representative of the natural state, genetically modified and differentiated pluripotent cells could be used to replace the immortalized cell components. In other words, genetically modified cell lines can be used in more highly predictive cell-based assays suitable for high-throughput, high-content compound screening.
  • Accordingly, the present disclosure contemplates ZFN-mediated genetic modifications of genes relevant to each part of the xenobiotic metabolism machinery. Such modifications include knock-outs, knock-ins of reporter tags, the introduction of specific mutations known to affect activity, or combinations of these. For example, the genetically modified cells and cell lines can be used to create tissue-specific, gender-specific, and/or population-reflective transporter panels; cell-based xenosenor assay panels that are tissue-specific and functionally reflective of the population; and induction assays that measure the genetic activation of different drug metabolism components and overt toxicological responses such as genotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and apoptosis.
  • According to the present disclosure, tissue-specific lines can be established that have been modified to isolate specific transporter activities and predict the reaction of populations to individual chemical entities. For example, ZFNs can be used to create transporter gene knock-outs in enterocyte cell lines, such as to introduce important, common polymorphisms into enterocyte cell lines, and in cell lines representative of liver, blood-brain-barrier (brain micro-vasculature endothelial cells), kidney and any relevant tissue-specific cell lines. Panels of cell lines can include enterocytes (Caco2 or BBe1) with knock-outs of individual transporter proteins (e.g. MDR-1, MRP1, 2, 3, 4, 6, BCRP), knock-out combinations to isolate effects of individual transporters (e.g. BCRP and MRP2, MDR-1 and MRP2, MRP-3 and MRP1), and a transporter null line (i.e. all 7 transporters knocked out). Panels of enterocytes may include knock-outs of OATP-2B1, PEPT-1, and OCT-N2. Panels of enterocytes may be created which include prevalent polymorphisms in the major transporter genes that affect drug transport and are of concern to pharmaceutical researchers.
  • The three xenosensors in humans (PXR, AhR and CAR) are known to have overlapping specificities in response to xenobiotics. Knowing which xenosensors are activated and to what extent by any particular chemical compound is also an important consideration for understanding drug responses, and drug-drug interactions. Creating panels of cells that report induction by the xenosensors can delineate the specificities. Further modifying the cells to address functionally important polymorphisms in the xenosensors would permit population predictions. ZFNs can be used to create knock-out cell lines analogous to transporter knockout cell lines as described above, and to create reporter cell lines that express different fluorescent proteins upon induction of different xenosensors. For example, cell lines can be created in which green FP is expressed if PXR is induced, red FP if CAR activity is induced, blue FP if AhR is induced. All lines may be constructed in the relevant tissue-type cell lines, i.e. intestine, liver, kidney, brain, and heart. Panels of cells can be created that represent the tissues most involved with drug toxicity and metabolism, and in which each xenosensor (CAR, PXR, AhR) is knocked out. Cell lines can also be produced that produce fluorescent proteins upon the activation of each of the three xenosensors.
  • Also contemplated are induction assays of ADME biotransformation and toxicological response genes. While the activities of each of the many Phase I and Phase II enzymes can be done today in simple biochemical assays, available assays cannot measure, in high-throughput fashion, the induction of any particular enzyme by an exogenously added xenobiotic. ZFNs can be used to create genetically modified cell lines as described herein that can provide the basis for assays that can measure the up/down regulation of key Phase I and Phase II enzymes, along with genes involved in a toxicological response. For example, ZFNs can be used to build lines that have a reporter gene (e.g. encoding fluorescent protein or luciferase) inserted proximal to the promoter of the gene being measured. These gene targets can be any of the critical Phase I, Phase II, transporter, genotox, or apoptosis/necrosis pathway components. Tissue-specific panels of cells can also be created, which report on the activation of genes encoding either the Phase I or Phase II enzymes, the transporters, or toxicity response pathways (e.g., genotoxicity or apoptosis).

  • In certain embodiments, an animal created by a method of the invention may be used to study the effects of mutations on the animal and on neurodevelopment using measures commonly used in the study of neurodevelopment.
  • iv. Cellular Function Models
  • A method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that may be used as a cellular function model. Such a model may be used to study the effects of an edited chromosomal sequence on a cellular function of interest. For example, a cellular function model may be used to study the effect of an edited chromosomal sequence on intracellular signaling or extracellular signaling. Or alternatively, a cellular function model may be used to study the effects of an edited chromosomal nucleic acid sequence on sensory perception.
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that comprises a chromosomal edit in one or more chromosomal sequences associated with a signaling biochemical pathway. Non-limiting examples of suitable pathways and the associated nucleic acid sequences are listed in Table C.

  • Alternatively, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that comprises a chromosomal edit in one or more nucleic acid sequences associated with cellular function. By way of non-limiting example, a chromosomal edit may be made in a sequence associated with cognition, nociception, taste, and AB transporters, each detailed below.
  • A. Cognition
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with cognition has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • In the foregoing embodiments, a chromosomal sequence associated with cognition may encode a cognition-related protein, or may be a control sequence. Cognition-related proteins are a diverse set of proteins that may be associated with susceptibility for developing a cognitive disorder, the presence of a cognitive disorder, the severity of a cognitive disorder or any combination thereof. Non-limiting examples of a cognitive disorder include Alzheimer's; mental retardation; Rett's syndrome; fragile X syndrome; mood disorders such as major depression disorder, unipolar disorder, mania, dysphoria, bipolar disorder, dysthymia, and cyclothymia; psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, delusional disorder, brief psychotic disorder, substance-induced psychotic disorder, and shared psychotic disorder; personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder; anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder; childhood disorders; dementia such as HIV-associated dementia (HAD) and multi-infarct dementia; autistic disorder; adjustment disorder; delirium; Tourette's disorder; attention deficit disorder; and post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • A cognition-related protein or control sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the cognition-related sequence to a cognitive disorder. For example, the production rate or circulating concentration of a cognition-related protein may be elevated or depressed in a population having a cognitive disorder relative to a population lacking the cognitive disorder. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.

  • C. ABC Transporters
  • ABC transporter proteins are a large and important superfamily of membrane transport proteins, ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. These transmembrane proteins hydrolyze ATP and use the energy to power various other functions, including translocation of molecules across intracellular and extracellular membranes, often against a concentration gradient. (For reviews, see Higgins, C. F., ABC transporters: from microorganisms to man, Annu. Rev. Cell Biol. 8 67-113 (1992); and M. Dean, Human ABC Transporter Superfamily, Bethesda (MD): National Center for Biotechnology Information (US); Nov. 18, 2002, available online at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=mono001).
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence associated with an ABC transporter has been edited. Suitable chromosomal edits may include, but are not limited to, the type of edits detailed in section I(f) above.
  • An ABC transporter chromosomal sequence may encode an ABC transporter protein or may be an ABC transporter control sequence. An ABC transporter sequence may typically be selected based on an experimental association of the ABC transporter sequence to an animal disease or condition, especially a mammalian (e.g., a human) disease or condition. For example, the expression of an ABC transporter protein in a particular tissue may be elevated or depressed in a population having an ABC transporter-related disease or condition relative to a population lacking the disease or condition. Differences in protein levels may be assessed using proteomic or genomic analysis techniques known in the art.

  • Additionally, in exemplary embodiments, a livestock animal may be an ovine, equine, bovine, or porcine animal, as detailed below.
  • i. Ovine Applications
  • In one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an ovine or an ovine cell in which at least one chromosomal sequence has been edited. Non-limiting examples of ovine chromosomal sequences to be edited may include those that encode proteins associated with coat color, pattern, wool fiber structure, and disease resistance.

Non-limiting examples of equine chromosomal sequences to be edited include those that encode for coat color, pattern, and disease resistance.
  • Non-limiting examples of suitable coat color genes encoding proteins for coat color and pattern include Extension (Black/Red Factor), Agouti, MC1R, Gray Modifier, Champagne Dilution, Tobiano, Silver Dilution, MATP (Cream Dilution), Pearl Dilution, and Sabino1. Those of skill in the art appreciate that other genes and proteins may be associated with coat color and coat pattern, but the genetic loci have yet to be determined.
  • In a further embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create a genetically modified equine that comprises an edited chromosomal sequence encoding HERDA, wherein the chromosomal sequence is inactivated such that certain alleles of HERDA protein are not produced. Furthermore, the genetically modified equine having inactivated HERDA variants of the chromosomal sequence described herein may exhibit reduced occurrence and transmission carriers of HERDA. In a non-limiting embodiment, the genetically modified equine may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding HERDA. In another non-limiting embodiment, the genetically modified equine may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence inactivating HERDA only in the forms of variants that are known to be carriers.
  • In another embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create a genetically modified equine that comprises an edited chromosomal sequence encoding HYPP, wherein the chromosomal sequence is inactivated such that the HYPP dominant allele is inactivated and the HYPP protein is not produced. Furthermore, the genetically modified equine having the inactivated HYPP dominant allele and chromosomal sequence described herein may exhibit reduced transmittal and perpetuation of HYPP in horses. In a non-limiting example, the genetically modified equine may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding HYPP.
  • In yet another embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create a genetically modified equine that comprises an edited chromosomal sequence encoding the Overo protein, wherein the chromosomal sequence is inactivated such that certain alleles of the Overo protein are not produced and/or are not fatal, but are still able to produce a frame overo phenotype. In a non-limiting example, the genetically modified equine animal may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding Overo wherein the dominant allele is inactivated. In another non-limiting example, the genetically modified equine may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence inactivating Overo only in the forms of variants that are known to express lethal or harmful phenotypes.

  • (d) Biomolecule Production Applications
  • In some embodiments, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or a cell that produces a biomolecule. For instance, in one embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that comprises one or more chromosomal edits such that the animal or cell produces a biomolecule that the animal or cell would not typically produce absent the chromosomal edit. For instance, a method of the invention may be used to create a cell that produces an antibiotic. Or alternatively, a method of the invention may be used to create a bovine that produces a desired biomolecule in its milk, as detailed in section II(b) above.
  • An additional aspect of the invention encompasses a method of producing purified biological components using a genetically modified cell or animal comprising an edited chromosomal sequence encoding a protein. Non-limiting examples of such biological components include antibodies, cytokines, signal proteins, enzymes, receptor agonists and receptor antagonists.
  • In another embodiment, a method of the invention may be used to create an animal or cell that comprises one or more chromosomal edits such that the animal or cell produces a modified biomolecule compared to a biomolecule the animal or cell would typically produce. For instance, a method of the invention may be used to create a silkworm that comprises a chromosomal edit such that the silkworm produces silk that is more desirable. Non-limiting examples of silkworm chromosomal sequences to be edited include those that code for proteins specifically expressed in the silk gland. The silk gland is the site where silk proteins are synthesized and can be divided into three morphologically and functionally distinct compartments: ASG, MSG and PSG. In one embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm comprising modified silk fibroin proteins in PSG, including fibroin heavy chain (FibH), fibroin light chain (FibL) and fibrohexamerin P25 may have silk fiber of different phenotype in color, texture, smoothness, length, strength, weight or the ability to absorb dyes. In other embodiments, the genetically modified silkworm comprises a modified gene encoding the juvenile hormone binding protein which is involved in juvenile hormone signal transduction in the PSG and mediating the growth and development of the silk gland. Yet in another embodiment, a genetically modified silkworm comprises a modified serf gene in the MSG, which yields the glue protein sericin that is sticky and coats the outside of the silk strand over the fibroin protein core. Sericin comprises about 10-25% of silk, and has to be degummed during the silk processing. Genetically modified silkworm comprising a modified serf gene may produce silk fiber without the need of extensive degumming process. As a result, genetically modified silk fiber doesn't need the “weighting” practice by adding metals to silk fabric in textile manufacturing.
  • A non-limiting example of a group of proteins involved in silk production are transporters involved in transporting substances relative to silk formation, such as members of the solute carrier family (family 35 member B3, member E1, and family 39 member 9) and the transmembrane trafficking protein isoform 2. Those of skill in the art appreciate that other proteins are involved in silk color, texture, smoothness, uniformity, length, strength, weight and the ability to absorb dyes, but the genetic loci have not been determined.
  • Protease inhibitors in A/MSG may play an important role in protecting the fibroin proteins in the silk gland lumen against digestion by proteases, such as antennal esterase and serine protease, which are expressed in the A/MSG. In another embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding protease inhibitor in A/MSG. A modified protease inhibitor coding region may give rise to a silk protein with different physical properties. In one embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm comprising a modified protease inhibitor chromosomal region may have a phenotype producing silk without high percentage of sericin yet still intact in shape and other physical properties.
  • In still another embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding Fibroin, Sericin, solute carrier, protease inhibitor or combinations thereof. The edited chromosomal sequence may comprise at least one modification such that an altered version of Fibroin, Sericin or other silk fiber formation related proteins is produced. The chromosomal sequence may be modified to contain at least one nucleotide change such that at the expressed protein comprises at least one amino acid change as detailed above. Alternatively, the edited chromosomal sequence may comprise a mutation such that the sequence is inactivated and no protein is made or a defective protein is made. As detailed above, the mutation may comprise a deletion, an insertion, or a point mutation. The genetically modified silkworm comprising an edited FibH, ser1 and/or protease inhibitor chromosomal sequence may have a different fiber color, texture, weight than a silkworm in which said chromosomal region(s) is not edited.
  • Silk is naturally hypoallergenic. However, several people experience silk allergies for a wide variety of causes. Often, the allergies are traced to the diet of the silk worm, such as mulberry or oak leaves, which influence the protein chains found in the silk strands produced by the silkworm. Silk allergies can cause asthma or allergic rhinitis. In one embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding alpha and beta glucosidases, glycoside hydrolase, and glucose transporters are all involved in glucose hydrolysis and transport in the digestion of mulberry leaves, the sole food source for the silkworm. These proteins are expressed in the midgut of the silkworm and are related to functions such as nutrient digestion, transportation, and absorption. In another embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding the lipase protein family, antennal esterases, carboxylesterase, and scavenger receptor SR-B1, which are associated mainly with lipid metabolism in the midgut, such as the hydrolysis of triglycerides, degradation of odorant acetate compounds, and the binding of modified low-density lipoproteins. The genetically modified silkworm comprising the edited chromosomal sequence described above generally will not contain allergen, which causes silk allergic reactions for silk manufacturing workers and consumers.
  • The midgut also represents the first line of resistance and immune response of the silkworm. In one embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence encoding aminopeptidases which bind various classes of the Cry toxins. For example, BtR175, a cadherin-like protein expressed in the silkworm, functions as a Cry toxin receptor in signal transduction. In another embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence of 17 members of the cytochrome P450 gene family in the midgut, which include CYP4, CYP6 and CYP9. The cytochrome P450 gene family in the midgut is involved in metabolism of plant toxins and insecticides.
  • Another midgut-specific gene encodes peptidoglycan recognition protein, which can bind strongly to the cell wall peptidoglycans of Gram-positive bacteria and trigger the immune response. Furthermore, two lymphocyte receptor genes expressed specifically in the midgut encode binding proteins that function in the recognition of pathogens. In another group of embodiments, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence in peptidoglycan recognition protein or lymphocyte binding protein, wherein the chromosomal sequence is up-regulated such that the silkworm is more disease resistant. With suitable mutations discussed above, the genetically modified silkworm generally will have better immune system, is disease- and pathogen-free, and is less susceptible to plant toxins and insecticides in its food source.
  • Similar to silkworm fiber, spider silk is another naturally made fiber which is three times tougher than Kevlar®, a material used in the army's current ballistic protective vest. Spider silk's superior ability to elongate allows it to absorb more energy in breaking and slow down of a projectile more effectively. However, the strong, pliable silk that spiders produce is not practical to harvest. The gene to make spider silk from the spider N. clavipes has been cloned, and there are also synthetic genes to mimic the spider dragline silk. In one embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise an edited chromosomal sequence that comprises an integrated sequence, such as flagelliform gene, coding spider silk. The genetically modified silkworm will enable a systematic and high-volume production of spider silk for the need of new material with unique properties.
  • The present disclosure also encompasses a genetically modified silkworm comprising any combination of the above described chromosomal alterations. For example, the genetically modified silkworm may comprise a modified FibH and/or FibL chromosomal sequence, a modified serf chromosomal sequence, and/or a modified BtR175, and/or CYP4 chromosomal sequence, and/or integrated sequence from other species or organisms.
  • The silkworms and cells disclosed herein may have several applications. In one embodiment, the genetically modified silkworm comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence may exhibit a phenotype desired by humans. For example, modification of the chromosomal sequence encoding Fibroin may result in silk fiber that carries unique color, texture, weight or strength. In other embodiments, the silkworm comprising at least one edited chromosomal sequence may be used as a model to study the genetics of silk composition, production, and/or transportation. Additionally, a silkworm comprising at least one disrupted chromosomal sequence may be used as a model to study a disease or condition that affects humans or other animals. Non-limiting examples of suitable diseases or conditions include mulberry allergy. Additionally, the disclosed silkworm cells and lysates of said cells may be used for similar research purposes.

In one embodiment, for example, an animal A may comprise a first chromosomal edit, and an animal B may comprise a second chromosomal edit. An F1 generation that comprises both the first and second chromosomal edits may be obtained by breeding A with B. This or a similar breeding scheme is one method for the combination of more than one chromosomal edit in the same animal.
  • In certain embodiments, an animal comprising a chromosomal edit may be used to create primary cell lines, as detailed in section IV. below. A resulting cell line would comprise the chromosomal edit originally introduced into the embryo. An animal of the invention may be used in any of the applications detailed in section II. above.

Exemplary cells are mammalian. The mammalian cells may be primary cells. In general, any primary cell that is sensitive to double strand breaks may be used. The cells may be of a variety of cell types, e.g., fibroblast, myoblast, T or B cell, macrophage, epithelial cell, and so forth.
  • When mammalian cell lines are used, the cell line may be any established cell line or a primary cell line that is not yet described. The cell line may be adherent or non-adherent, or the cell line may be grown under conditions that encourage adherent, non-adherent or organotypic growth using standard techniques known to individuals skilled in the art. Non-limiting examples of suitable mammalian cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, monkey kidney CVI line transformed by SV40 (COS7), human embryonic kidney line 293, baby hamster kidney cells (BHK), mouse sertoli cells (TM4), monkey kidney cells (CV1-76), African green monkey kidney cells (VERO), human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa), canine kidney cells (MDCK), buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A), human lung cells (W138), human liver cells (Hep G2), mouse mammary tumor cells (MMT), rat hepatoma cells (HTC), HIH/3T3 cells, the human U2-OS osteosarcoma cell line, the human A549 cell line, the human K562 cell line, the human HEK293 cell lines, the human HEK293T cell line, and TRI cells. For an extensive list of mammalian cell lines, those of ordinary skill in the art may refer to the American Type Culture Collection catalog (ATCC®, Mamassas, Va.).
  • In an exemplary embodiment, a cell of the invention is an embryo. An embryo may be a one cell embryo, or a more than one cell embryo. Suitable embryos may be derived from several different vertebrate species, including mammalian, bird, reptile, amphibian, and fish species. Generally speaking, a suitable embryo is an embryo that may be collected, injected, and cultured to allow the expression of a zinc finger nuclease. In some embodiments, suitable embryos may include embryos from rodents, companion animals, livestock animals, and primates. Non-limiting examples of rodents include mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. Non-limiting examples of companion animals include cats, dogs, rabbits, hedgehogs, and ferrets. Non-limiting examples of livestock include horses, goats, sheep, swine, llamas, alpacas, and cattle. Non-limiting examples of primates include capuchin monkeys, chimpanzees, lemurs, macaques, marmosets, tamarins, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and vervet monkeys. In other embodiments, suitable embryos may include embryos from fish, reptiles, amphibians, or birds. Alternatively, suitable embryos may be insect embryos, for instance, a Drosophila embryo, a mosquito embryo, or a silkworm embryo. A skilled artisan will appreciate that methods for the collection, injection, and culturing of embryos are known in the art and can and will vary depending on the species of embryo. Routine optimization may be used, in all cases, to determine the best techniques for a particular species of embryo.
  • In still other embodiments, the cell may be a stem cell. Suitable stem cells include without limit embryonic stem cells, ES-like stem cells, fetal stem cells, adult stem cells, pluripotent stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells, oligopotent stem cells, and unipotent stem cells.
  • Additionally, a cell of the invention may be modified to include a tag or reporter gene. Reporter genes include those encoding selectable markers such as cloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) and neomycin phosphotransferase (neo), and those encoding a fluorescent protein such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), red fluorescent protein, or any genetically engineered variant thereof that improves the reporter performance. Non-limiting examples of known such FP variants include EGFP, blue fluorescent protein (EBFP, EBFP2, Azurite, mKalama1), cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP, Cerulean, CyPet) and yellow fluorescent protein derivatives (YFP, Citrine, Venus, YPet). For example, in a genetic construct containing a reporter gene, the reporter gene sequence can be fused directly to the targeted gene to create a gene fusion. A reporter sequence can be integrated in a targeted manner in the targeted gene, for example the reporter sequences may be integrated specifically at the 5′ or 3′ end of the targeted gene. The two genes are thus under the control of the same promoter elements and are transcribed into a single messenger RNA molecule. Alternatively, the reporter gene may be used to monitor the activity of a promoter in a genetic construct, for example by placing the reporter sequence downstream of the target promoter such that expression of the reporter gene is under the control of the target promoter, and activity of the reporter gene can be directly and quantitatively measured, typically in comparison to activity observed under a strong consensus promoter. It will be understood that doing so may or may not lead to destruction of the targeted gene.
  • DEFINITIONS
  • Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. The following references provide one of skill with a general definition of many of the terms used in this invention: Singleton et al., Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology (2nd ed. 1994); The Cambridge Dictionary of Science and Technology (Walker ed., 1988); The Glossary of Genetics, 5th Ed., R. Rieger et al. (eds.), Springer Verlag (1991); and Hale & Marham, The Harper Collins Dictionary of Biology (1991). As used herein, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to them unless specified otherwise.
  • When introducing elements of the present disclosure or the preferred embodiments(s) thereof, the articles “a”, “an”, “the” and “said” are intended to mean that there are one or more of the elements. The terms “comprising”, “including” and “having” are intended to be inclusive and mean that there may be additional elements other than the listed elements.
  • A “gene,” as used herein, refers to a DNA region (including exons and introns) encoding a gene product, as well as all DNA regions which regulate the production of the gene product, whether or not such regulatory sequences are adjacent to coding and/or transcribed sequences. Accordingly, a gene includes, but is not necessarily limited to, promoter sequences, terminators, translational regulatory sequences such as ribosome binding sites and internal ribosome entry sites, enhancers, silencers, insulators, boundary elements, replication origins, matrix attachment sites, and locus control regions.
  • The terms “nucleic acid” and “polynucleotide” refer to a deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide polymer, in linear or circular conformation, and in either single- or double-stranded form. For the purposes of the present disclosure, these terms are not to be construed as limiting with respect to the length of a polymer. The terms can encompass known analogs of natural nucleotides, as well as nucleotides that are modified in the base, sugar and/or phosphate moieties (e.g., phosphorothioate backbones). In general, an analog of a particular nucleotide has the same base-pairing specificity; i.e., an analog of A will base-pair with T.
  • The terms “polypeptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues.
  • The term “recombination” refers to a process of exchange of genetic information between two polynucleotides. For the purposes of this disclosure, “homologous recombination” refers to the specialized form of such exchange that takes place, for example, during repair of double-strand breaks in cells. This process requires sequence similarity between the two polynucleotides, uses a “donor” or “exchange” molecule to template repair of a “target” molecule (i.e., the one that experienced the double-strand break), and is variously known as “non-crossover gene conversion” or “short tract gene conversion,” because it leads to the transfer of genetic information from the donor to the target. Without being bound by any particular theory, such transfer can involve mismatch correction of heteroduplex DNA that forms between the broken target and the donor, and/or “synthesis-dependent strand annealing,” in which the donor is used to resynthesize genetic information that will become part of the target, and/or related processes. Such specialized homologous recombination often results in an alteration of the sequence of the target molecule such that part or all of the sequence of the donor or exchange polynucleotide is incorporated into the target polynucleotide.
  • As used herein, the terms “target site” or “target sequence” refer to a nucleic acid sequence that defines a portion of a chromosomal sequence to be edited and to which a zinc finger nuclease is engineered to recognize and bind, provided sufficient conditions for binding exist.
  • Techniques for determining nucleic acid and amino acid sequence identity are known in the art. Typically, such techniques include determining the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA for a gene and/or determining the amino acid sequence encoded thereby, and comparing these sequences to a second nucleotide or amino acid sequence. Genomic sequences can also be determined and compared in this fashion. In general, identity refers to an exact nucleotide-to-nucleotide or amino acid-to-amino acid correspondence of two polynucleotides or polypeptide sequences, respectively. Two or more sequences (polynucleotide or amino acid) can be compared by determining their percent identity. The percent identity of two sequences, whether nucleic acid or amino acid sequences, is the number of exact matches between two aligned sequences divided by the length of the shorter sequences and multiplied by 100. An approximate alignment for nucleic acid sequences is provided by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman, Advances in Applied Mathematics 2:482-489 (1981). This algorithm can be applied to amino acid sequences by using the scoring matrix developed by Dayhoff, Atlas of Protein Sequences and Structure, M. O. Dayhoff ed., 5 suppl. 3:353-358, National Biomedical Research Foundation, Washington, D.C., USA, and normalized by Gribskov, Nucl. Acids Res. 14(6):6745-6763 (1986). An exemplary implementation of this algorithm to determine percent identity of a sequence is provided by the Genetics Computer Group (Madison, Wis.) in the “BestFit” utility application. Other suitable programs for calculating the percent identity or similarity between sequences are generally known in the art, for example, another alignment program is BLAST, used with default parameters. For example, BLASTN and BLASTP can be used using the following default parameters: genetic code=standard; filter=none; strand=both; cutoff=60; expect=10; Matrix=BLOSUM62; Descriptions=50 sequences; sort by=HIGH SCORE; Databases=non-redundant, GenBank+EMBL+DDBJ+PDB+GenBank CDS translations+Swiss protein+Spupdate-FPIR. Details of these programs can be found on the GenBank website. With respect to sequences described herein, the range of desired degrees of sequence identity is approximately 80% to 100% and any integer value therebetween. Typically the percent identities between sequences are at least 70-75%, preferably 80-82%, more preferably 85-90%, even more preferably 92%, still more preferably 95%, and most preferably 98% sequence identity.
  • Alternatively, the degree of sequence similarity between polynucleotides can be determined by hybridization of polynucleotides under conditions that allow formation of stable duplexes between regions that share a degree of sequence identity, followed by digestion with single-stranded-specific nuclease(s), and size determination of the digested fragments. Two nucleic acid, or two polypeptide sequences are substantially similar to each other when the sequences exhibit at least about 70%-75%, preferably 80%-82%, more-preferably 85%-90%, even more preferably 92%, still more preferably 95%, and most preferably 98% sequence identity over a defined length of the molecules, as determined using the methods above. As used herein, substantially similar also refers to sequences showing complete identity to a specified DNA or polypeptide sequence. DNA sequences that are substantially similar can be identified in a Southern hybridization experiment under, for example, stringent conditions, as defined for that particular system. Defining appropriate hybridization conditions is within the skill of the art. See, e.g., Sambrook et al., supra; Nucleic Acid Hybridization: A Practical Approach, editors B. D. Hames and S. J. Higgins, (1985) Oxford; Washington, D.C.; IRL Press).
  • Selective hybridization of two nucleic acid fragments can be determined as follows. The degree of sequence identity between two nucleic acid molecules affects the efficiency and strength of hybridization events between such molecules. A partially identical nucleic acid sequence will at least partially inhibit the hybridization of a completely identical sequence to a target molecule. Inhibition of hybridization of the completely identical sequence can be assessed using hybridization assays that are well known in the art (e.g., Southern (DNA) blot, Northern (RNA) blot, solution hybridization, or the like, see Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, (1989) Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.). Such assays can be conducted using varying degrees of selectivity, for example, using conditions varying from low to high stringency. If conditions of low stringency are employed, the absence of non-specific binding can be assessed using a secondary probe that lacks even a partial degree of sequence identity (for example, a probe having less than about 30% sequence identity with the target molecule), such that, in the absence of non-specific binding events, the secondary probe will not hybridize to the target.
  • When utilizing a hybridization-based detection system, a nucleic acid probe is chosen that is complementary to a reference nucleic acid sequence, and then by selection of appropriate conditions the probe and the reference sequence selectively hybridize, or bind, to each other to form a duplex molecule. A nucleic acid molecule that is capable of hybridizing selectively to a reference sequence under moderately stringent hybridization conditions typically hybridizes under conditions that allow detection of a target nucleic acid sequence of at least about 10-14 nucleotides in length having at least approximately 70% sequence identity with the sequence of the selected nucleic acid probe. Stringent hybridization conditions typically allow detection of target nucleic acid sequences of at least about 10-14 nucleotides in length having a sequence identity of greater than about 90-95% with the sequence of the selected nucleic acid probe. Hybridization conditions useful for probe/reference sequence hybridization, where the probe and reference sequence have a specific degree of sequence identity, can be determined as is known in the art (see, for example, Nucleic Acid Hybridization: A Practical Approach, editors B. D. Hames and S. J. Higgins, (1985) Oxford; Washington, D.C.; IRL Press). Conditions for hybridization are well-known to those of skill in the art.
  • Hybridization stringency refers to the degree to which hybridization conditions disfavor the formation of hybrids containing mismatched nucleotides, with higher stringency correlated with a lower tolerance for mismatched hybrids. Factors that affect the stringency of hybridization are well-known to those of skill in the art and include, but are not limited to, temperature, pH, ionic strength, and concentration of organic solvents such as, for example, formamide and dimethylsulfoxide. As is known to those of skill in the art, hybridization stringency is increased by higher temperatures, lower ionic strength and lower solvent concentrations. With respect to stringency conditions for hybridization, it is well known in the art that numerous equivalent conditions can be employed to establish a particular stringency by varying, for example, the following factors: the length and nature of the sequences, base composition of the various sequences, concentrations of salts and other hybridization solution components, the presence or absence of blocking agents in the hybridization solutions (e.g., dextran sulfate, and polyethylene glycol), hybridization reaction temperature and time parameters, as well as, varying wash conditions. A particular set of hybridization conditions may be selected following standard methods in the art (see, for example, Sambrook, et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, (1989) Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.).

It should be appreciated by those of skill in the art that the techniques disclosed in the examples that follow represent techniques discovered by the inventors to function well in the practice of the invention.

  • The following examples illustrate various iterations of the invention.
  • Example 1 Construction of Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) Donor Nucleic Acid for Targeted Integration into the PXR Nucleic Acid Region of the Rat Genome
  • There are two possible DNA repair outcomes after a targeted, ZFN-induced double-stranded break (FIG. 1). The break may be repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), leading to mutations containing base deletions or additions or, in the presence of a donor DNA, the donor DNA can be used as a template to repair the double stranded break by homologous recombination (HR). If the donor DNA encodes specific sequence changes, these deliberate mutations will be incorporated into the genome of the organism at the target site.
  • To test targeted integration in the rat genome using pronuclear injection, constructs were designed and prepared for targeted integration into the PXR gene region of the rat genome. Constructs were assembled to introduce either a NotI or PmeI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) site into the PXR gene region (FIG. 2). The constructs were designed with either 200, 800 or 2000 base pairs of sequence homology to the PXR gene target site flanking the RFLP sites to be introduced. The three sizes of regions of homology were used to determine the size of homology required for efficient targeting and homologous recombination.
  • The clones were assembled using PCR amplification to introduce convenient restriction sites for cloning, and the RFLP site at the extremities of the PXR homology regions (FIG. 1). PCR primers used for amplifying the PXR region of homology are described in Table 1. Accuprime HF DNA polymerase was used for PCR reaction amplification. A 30s extension was used for the 200 bp fragments, a 1.5 min extension was used for the 800 bp fragments, and a 4 min extension was used for the 2 Kbp fragments. PCR fragments were then digested with the appropriate restriction enzymes and cloned into pBluescript using three-way ligation to produce six plasmids listed in Table 2.

  • Example 4 Construction of GFP Expression Integration Cassette
  • To test targeted integration of nucleic acid fragments larger than RFLPs, constructs were designed and prepared for targeted integration of a GFP expression cassette into the PXR and rRosa26 nucleic acid genomic regions of the rat and the mMdr1a nucleic acid genomic regions of the mouse. Briefly, a GFP expression cassette containing the human PGK promoter, the GFP open reading frame, and a polyadenylation signal was amplified using PCR to introduce NotI restriction sites at the extremities (FIG. 3) using the following primers: PGKGFP-F NotI (5′-aaagcggccgcttggggttgcgccttttcc) (SEQ ID NO:49) and PGKGFP-R NotI (5′-aaaagcggccgccatagagcccaccgcatc) (SEQ ID NO:50). The PCR fragment was then cloned into the NotI-containing plasmids constructed in Examples 1-3.
  • Example 5 Preparation of Zinc Finger mRNAs for Targeted Integration
  • A pair of zinc finger nucleases were designed for each targeted integration site and cloned as described on the Sigma web site. For more information, see Science (2009) 325:433, herein incorporated by reference. ZFN expressing mRNAs were then produced in vitro by first digesting 20 μg of each maxiprepped ZFN expression plasmid DNA in 100 μl reactions containing 10 μl buffer 2 (NEB, #B7002S), 10 μl 10×BSA (diluted from 100×BSA, NEB, #B9001S), 8 μl XbaI (NEB, #R0145S), at 37° C. for 2 h. The reactions were extracted with 100 μl of phenol/chloroform (Sigma, P2069), centrifuged at over 20,000×g for 10 min. The aqueous supernatant was precipitated with 10 μl 3M NaOAc (Sigma, S7899) and 250 μl 100% ethanol and centrifuged at top speed for 25 min at room temperature. The resulting pellet was washed by adding 300 μl 70% ethanol filtered through a 0.02 μM filter. The pellet was air dried and resuspended in 20 μl of 0.02 μM filtered 0.1×TE.
  • The purified digested DNA was then used to produce ZFN transcripts using in vitro transcription with MessageMax T7 Capped Message Transcription Kit (#MMA60710) from Epicentre Biotechnologies as described. In short, kit components are prewarmed to room temperature, and reaction components for a 20 μl reaction were combined at room temperature in the following order: 5 μl of 0.02 um filtered RNase-free water, 1 μl prepared template, 2 μl lox transcription buffer, 8 μl 2-way Cap/NTP premix, 2 μl 100 mM DTT and 2 μl MessageMax T7 Enzyme Solution. The reactions were then incubated in a 37° C. incubator for 30 min.
  • The capped RNA was then tailed with polyA using the A-Plus Poly (A) Polymerase tailing kit (Epicentre, #PAP5 104H) as described. Reaction components were combined at room temperature in the following given order: 55.5 μl 0.02 um filtered RNase-free water, 10 μl 10×A-Plus Reaction Buffer, 10 ul 10 mM ATP, 2.5 μl ScriptGuard RNase Inhibitor (40 unit/pi), 20 μl In vitro transcription capping reaction, 2 μl A-plus poly A polymerase. The reaction was then incubated at 37° C. for 30 min. The resulting capped polyA-tailed mRNA was purified by precipitation with an equal volume of 5M NH4Oac twice. The mRNA pellet was then air dried, and resuspended in 30 μl of filtered injection buffer (1 mM Tris, pH7.4, 0.25 mM EDTA), and RNA concentration was measured using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer.
  • Example 6 Targeted Integration into Embryos
  • To integrate nucleic acids into the rat or mouse genome, zinc finger nuclease mRNA was mixed with the maxiprepped target DNA filtered with 0.02 um filters. The nucleic acid mixture consisted of one part ZFN mRNAs to one part donor DNA. The nucleic acid mixture was then microinjected into the pronucleus of a one-celled embryo using known methods. The injected embryos were either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudo moms. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals were harvested for DNA extraction and analysis.
  • To extract DNA, tissue was lysed in 100 μl Epicentre's QuickExtract at 50° C. for 30 min, followed by incubation at 65° C. for 10 min, and 98° C. for 3 min. To determine if targeted integration occurred, PCR was used to amplify the target region using appropriate primers. For experiments where RFLP was integrated into the genome of the animal, the PCR products were digested with the introduced RFLP enzyme to detect integration (FIG. 4A). In addition, a Cel-I endonuclease assay using wild type PCR fragments and PCR fragments derived from injected embryos was used to demonstrate that ZFN mRNA was functional in the embryos by detecting NHEJ, which is independent of targeted integration. For experiments where GFP was integrated into the genome of the animal, a shift in size of the PCR fragment is indicative of the integration (FIG. 4B). Alternatively, amplification of the integration junction, where one primer lands only on the GFP cassette was used to assess integration of the donor nucleic acid.
  • Example 7 Testing of DNA Extraction and PCR Amplification of the mMdr1a Target Site in the Mouse Genome
  • PCR conditions to amplify target nucleic acid extracted from tissue were tested using embryos with 1-64 cells extracted as described in Example 6. A 900 bp fragment containing the mouse mMdr1a target region was amplified using 36 amplification cycles with 4 min extension at 60° C. in reactions containing up to 5 μl Epicentre's QuickExtract solution in 50 μl reactions (FIG. 5). These results show that QuickExtract does not interfere with PCR amplification, and that DNA can be amplified from sample extracted from only 1-10 cells. To enhance sensitivity, the number of PCR cycles may be increased, or nested PCR reactions may be performed.
  • Example 8 Integration of NotI Donor RFLP into the Rat PXR Genomic Region—Experiment A
  • A donor plasmid (with an 800 bp arm) for integrating a NotI RFLP site into the PXR region of the rat genome was injected into rat embryos with ZFN mRNAs as described above. PCR, followed by NotI restriction enzyme analysis and Cel-I endonuclease analysis were performed using DNA extracted from a number of embryos. PCR amplification was successful with a number of embryos (FIG. 6A), and Cel-I endonuclease analysis revealed that most of the fragments had nucleic acid sequence changes at the desired target (FIG. 6B).
  • Example 9 Integration of NotI Donor RFLP into the Mouse mMdr1a Genomic Region—Experiment B
  • The targeted integration of the NotI RFLP into the mouse mMdr1a region was repeated as described in Example 8. The mMdr1a region was amplified using PCR and digested with NotI. PCR amplification was successful with a number of embryos (FIG. 7), and digestion with NotI revealed that a number of embryos comprised the integrated RFLP site (see e.g. lanes 13, 17, 19, 20 and 23). In all, targeted integration in 7 out of the 32 embryos for which data was generated.
  • These results were confirmed by repeating the NotI digestion reaction after further cleaning the PCR reaction product (FIG. 8).
  • Example 10 Testing DNA Extraction and PCR Amplification of the PXR Target Site in the Rat Genome
  • PCR amplification of the PXR region from blastocysts was tested to determine the level of sensitivity. The PCR reaction contained 5 μl template, 5 μl PCR buffer, 5 μl of each primer, 0.5 μl of Taq polymerase enzyme, and 33.5 μl water for a 50 μl reaction. The template consisted of undiluted DNA extracted from rat blastocysts or DNA diluted at a ratio of 1:2, 1:6, 1:10, and 1:30 (FIG. 9).
  • Example 11 Integration of NotI Donor RFLP into the Rat PXR Genomic Region
  • A donor plasmid (with 800 bp homology arms) for integrating a NotI RFLP site into the PXR region of the rat genome was injected into rat embryos with ZFN mRNAs as described above. A total of 123 embryos were injected, and 106 survived. Decreasing concentrations of nucleic acids were injected to test for toxicity. Of the 51 embryos injected with 5 ng of nucleic acids, 17 survived and divided to two cell embryos on day two. Of the 23 embryos injected with 2 ng of nucleic acids, 14 survived and divided to two cell embryos on day two. Of the 29 embryos injected with 10 ng of nucleic acids, 12 survived and divided to two cell embryos on day two. Of the ten uninjected control embryos, all survived and divided to two cell embryos on day two.
  • PCR amplification of the PXR region, followed by NotI and Cel-I endonuclease analysis were performed using DNA extracted from a number of embryos. PCR amplification was successful with a number of embryos, and NotI and Cel-I endonuclease analysis revealed that 18 out of 47 embryos had nucleic acid sequence changes at the desired target (FIG. 10).
  • Example 12 Targeted Integration of RFLP into the mMdr1a Target Region of the Mouse Genome in Fetus
  • A donor plasmid (with 800 bp homology arms) for introducing NotI into the mMdr1a region of the mouse genome was injected into mouse embryos with ZFN mRNAs as described above. One out of four well-developed fetuses at 12.5 dpc were positive for the NotI site. All four deciduas were negative. (FIG. 11).
  • Example 13 Targeted Integration of GFP into the mMdr1a Locus of a Fetus
  • A donor plasmid (with 800 bp homology arms) for introducing GFP cassette into the mMdr1a region of the mouse genome was injected into mouse embryos with ZFN mRNAs as described above. Two out of forty fetuses at 12.5 dpc were positive for the GFP cassette (FIG. 12).

  • Example 15 Genome Editing of SMAD4 in Cat Cells
  • Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated genome editing was tested in cat cells using a ZFN that binds to the human SMAD4 chromosomal sequence because the DNA binding sites in cat and human are identical. The amino acid sequence and corresponding DNA binding site of SMAD4 ZFN pair (19160/19159) are presented in TABLE 5. Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding SMAD4 ZFNs (19160/19159) were produced using known molecular biology techniques.

  • The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks was determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells generates a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. The relative intensity of the cleavage products compared with the parental band is a measure of the level of Cel-1 cleavage of the heteroduplex. This, in turn, reflects the frequency of ZFN-mediated cleavage of the endogenous target locus that has subsequently undergone imperfect repair by NHEJ. As shown in FIG. 14, the SMAD4 ZFNs (19160/19159) cleaved the SMAD4 locus in human and cat cells.
  • Example 16 Genome Editing of SMAD4 in Cat Embryos
  • Cat embryos were harvested using standard procedures and injected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding SMAD4 ZFNs (19160/19159) using techniques substantially similar to those described by Geurts et al. Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The cat embryos were at the 2-4 cell stage when microinjected. Control embryos were injected with 0.1 mM EDTA. The frequency of cutting was estimated using the Cel-1 assay as described in Example 15. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the cutting efficiency was estimated to be about 6-9%.
  • TABLE 6 presents the development of the embryos following microinjection. About 19% ( 3/16) of the embryos injected with a small volume of SMAD4 ZFN mRNA developed to the blastula stage, and 50% ( 8/16) of the control embryos injected with EDTA developed to the blastula stage.

  • Feline AKD cells were transfected with mRNA encoding Fel d1 ZFNs (17/18), which target exon 1 of chain 1; Fel d1 ZFNs (7/9), which target exon 2 of chain 1, or Fel d1 ZFNs (12/13), which target exon 2 of chain 2. The efficiency of ZFN-mediated cutting was estimated using the Cel-1 assay as described above. The cutting efficiency of the 17/18 Fel d1 ZFN pair was estimated to be about 17% (see FIG. 16). The 7/9 Fel d1 ZFN pair cleaved chain 1, exon 2 with an efficiency of about 16% (see FIG. 17). FIG. 18 illustrates that chain 2, exon 2 was cleaved by the 12/13 Fel d1 ZFN pair.
  • Example 18 Genome Editing of Fel d1 in Cat Embryos
  • To facilitate inactivation of the Fel d1 locus, cat embryos were treated with two pairs of Fel d1 ZFNs. One pair (17/18) targeted chain 1-exon 1 and the other pair (12/13) targeted chain 2-exon 2. Because of the genomic organization of Fel d1 locus, the coding region for chain 2 (which is transcribed from the “lower” strand) is located about 4000 bp upstream of the coding region for chain 1 (which is transcribed from the “upper” strand). Thus, it was hypothesized that editing events are two separate locations may mediate a large deletion from the Fel d1 locus. Cat embryos were co-injected with capped, polyadenylated mRNAs encoding the pairs of ZFNs essentially as described above in Example 16. TABLE 8 presents the development of the embryos following microinjection. Embryos injected with the higher concentration Fel dl ZFNs had a higher survival rate than those injected with the lower concentration.

  • On day 8, the control and experimental embryos were harvested for analysis. Control blastocysts contained about 150-300 cells, experimental blastocysts contained about 70-100 cells, and experimental morula contained about 16-30 cells. DNA of individual embryos was extracted using standard procedures, and subjected to Cel-1 analysis (see FIG. 19). Samples in lanes 1, 3, and 7 displayed the expected Cel-1 digestion products. Sequence analysis revealed that extra bands in other lanes (including the control lane, 6) were due to nearby SNPs.
  • To further analyze the edited Fel d1 loci, the targeted region was PCR amplified and sequenced using standard methods. Sequence analysis confirmed that sample #5 had a 4541 bp deletion between the coding regions for chain 2 and chain 1 (see FIG. 20). In particular, the binding site for ZFN 13 was truncated by 2 bp and the binding for ZFN 12 was deleted along with additional downstream sequence. Surprisingly, the binding site for the 17/18 pair was intact, indicating that the deletion was a result of cleavage by the 12/13 ZFN pair (see FIG. 21).

  • Example 20 Genome Editing of Agouti in Model Organism Cells
  • Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated genome editing may be tested in the cells of a model organism such as an ovine using a ZFN that binds to the chromosomal sequence of a hair color-related gene of the ovine cell such as MSH receptor proteins, tyrosinase (TYR), tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1), agouti signaling protein (ASIP), melanophilin (MLPH). The particular coat color-related gene to be edited may be a gene having identical DNA binding sites to the DNA binding sites of the corresponding ovine homolog of the gene. Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN may be produced using known molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to a technique substantially similar to the technique described in Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The mRNA may be transfected into ovine cells. Control cells may be injected with mRNA encoding GFP.

The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks was estimated using the Cel-1 assay as described in Example 20. The cutting efficiency may be estimated using the Cel-1 assay results.
  • The development of the embryos following microinjection may be assessed. Embryos injected with a small volume ZFN mRNA may be compared to embryos injected with EDTA to determine the effect of the ZFN mRNA on embryo survival to the blastula stage.
  • Example 22 Genome Editing of FibH in Model Organism Cells
  • Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated genome editing may be tested in the cells of a model organism such as silkworm, Bombyx mori, using a ZFN that binds to the chromosomal sequence of a silkworm fiber related gene of the silkworm cell such as Fibroin heavy chain (FibH), Fibroin light chain (FibL), fibrohexamerin P25, Sericin (Seri), Cry toxin receptor (BtR175), Cytochrome P450 (CYP4, CYP6, CYP9). The particular silk fiber-related gene to be edited may be a gene having identical DNA binding sites to the DNA binding sites of the corresponding insect, such as spider homolog of the gene. Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN may be produced using known molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to a technique substantially similar to the technique described in Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

  • The embryos of a model organism such as silkworm, Bombyx mori, egg embryo may be harvested using standard procedures and injected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding a ZFN similar to that described in Example 22. The silkworm, Bombyx mori, egg embryos may be at the 2-4 cell stage when microinjected. Control embryos were injected with 0.1 mM EDTA. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks was estimated using the Cel-1 assay as described in Example 22. The cutting efficiency may be estimated using the CEl-1 assay results.
  • The development of the embryos following microinjection may be assessed. Embryos injected with a small volume ZFN mRNA may be compared to embryos injected with EDTA to determine the effect of the ZFN mRNA on embryo survival to later stage.
  • Example 24 TUBA1B Promoter
  • The following example details use of a tubulin promoter to regulate the expression of heterologous protein(s). TUBA1B, which codes for tubulin alpha-1B, was chosen as the target chromosomal sequence. A pair of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) was designed to target a location in the TUBA1B coding region. For more additional information see Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. One ZFN was designed to bind the sequence 5′ CTTCGCCTCCTAATC 3′ (SEQ ID NO:86), and the other ZFN was designed to bind the sequence 5′ CACTATGGTGAGTAA 3′ (SEQ ID NO:87) (FIG. 24A). Upon binding, the ZFN pair introduces a double-stranded break in the sequence 5′ CCTAGC 3′ that lies between the two ZFN recognition sequences. Capped, polyadenylated mRNAs encoding the ZFN pair were produced using known molecular biology techniques.
  • The gene of interest (i.e., SH2 biosensor) comprised a sequence encoding GFP linked to two SH2 domains and a 2A peptide domain (see FIG. 24B). A plasmid (FIG. 25) was constructed to serve as donor polynucleotide for the targeted integration of the SH2 biosensor sequence into the TUBA1B locus of a human cell line. The plasmid comprised the SH2 biosensor coding sequence flanked by 1 Kb and 700 bp of TUBA1B locus sequence upstream and downstream of the cut site introduced by the ZFN pair. The plasmid was designed such that the SH2 biosensor coding sequence would be integrated in-frame with the endogenous sequence just downstream of the tubulin start codon. Upon activation of the TUBA1B locus, two separate proteins are made, as depicted in FIG. 24B.
  • The donor plasmid and the pair of RNAs encoding ZFNs were transfected into U2OS, A549, K562, HEK293, or HEK293T cells. The nucleic acid mixture comprised one part donor DNA to one part ZFN RNAs. The transfected cells were then cultured under standard conditions. Analysis of individual cell clones revealed GFP fluorescence, indicating the expression of the heterologous biosensor. Western analysis confirmed that expression of α-tubulin was not affected by the targeted integration (FIG. 24C).
  • Another donor plasmid was constructed to allow insertion if a Grb2-containing biosensor (i.e., GFP-2xSH2-Grb2-2A). The Grb2-containing biosensor is activated by EGF and undergoes nuclear translocation. A549 cells were transfected with the nucleic acids and cultured to allow integration and expression of the TUBA1B locus. Cells were exposed to 100 ng/ml of EGF and imaged. FIG. 26 presents a time course of the translocation of the SH2 biosensor.
  • Example 25 ACTB Promoter
  • The following example was designed to test the use of a stronger promoter. A well known strong promoter is within the ACTB locus, which encodes β-actin. A pair of ZFNs was designed to target the ACTB locus. One ZFN was designed to bind the sequence 5′ GTCGTCGACAACGGCTCC 3′ (SEQ ID NO:88), and the other ZFN was designed to bind the sequence 5′ TGCAAGGCCGGCTTCGCGG 3′ (SEQ ID NO:89). Upon binding, the ZFN pair introduces a double-stranded break in the sequence 5′ GGCATG 3′ that lies between the two ZFN recognition sequences.
  • A donor plasmid was designed to provide the SH2 biosensor sequence, as well as tag the endogenously produced β-actin (i.e., GFP-2x-SH2-2A-RFP) (FIG. 27). The nucleic acids were introduced into cells, and two fluorescent proteins were made (i.e., GFP biosensor and RFP-tagged actin). The fluorescence of each protein was monitored using fluorescent microscopy.
  • To better monitor the different fluorescent proteins, another donor plasmid was constructed to contain a Grb2-containing biosensor. Accordingly, the donor plasmid comprised: GFP-2xSH2-Grb2-2A-RFP. A549 cells were transfected with the nucleic acids and cultured to allow integration and expression of the ACTB locus. Cells were exposed to 100 ng/ml of EGF and imaged. FIG. 28 presents a time course of the translocation of the GFP-Grb2 biosensor and the location of RFP-actin. The amount biosensor produced was so high that there were high levels of unbound or “free” biosensor, thereby drastically increasing the amount of background fluorescence.
  • Example 26 LMNB1 Promoter
  • To target the LMNB1 locus, which codes for lamin B1 protein, another pair of ZFNs was made. One ZFN was designed to bind the sequence 5′ CCTCGCCGCCCCGCT 3′ (SEQ ID NO:90), and the other ZFN was designed to bind the sequence 5′ GCCGCCCGCCATGGCG 3′ (SEQ ID NO:91). Upon binding, the ZFN pair introduces a double-stranded break in the sequence 5′ GTCTCC 3′ that lies between the two recognition sequences.
  • A donor plasmid may be constructed to comprise a sequence encoding a biosensor protein that is flanked by LMNB1 sequences upstream and downstream of the ZFN cleavage site. The nucleic acids encoding the ZFNs and the donor plasmid may be introduced into cells, and the cells may be monitored as detailed above.
  • Example 27 Identification of ZFNs that Edit the LRRK2 Locus
  • The LRRK2 gene in rat was chosen for zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) mediated genome editing. ZFNs were designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al. Science (2009) 325:433). ZFN design made use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules. The LRRK2 gene region (XM235581) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites to which existing modules could be fused to generate a pair of 4-, 5-, or 6-finger proteins that would bind a 12-18 bp sequence on one strand and a 12-18 bp sequence on the other strand, with about 5-6 bp between the two binding sites.
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding each pair of ZFNs was produced using known molecular biology techniques. The mRNA was transfected into rat cells. Control cells were injected with mRNA encoding GFP. Active ZFN pairs were identified by detecting ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells generates a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. This assay revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-tgGGTCATGAAGTGGGGGTGagtgctgt-3′ (SEQ ID NO:94; contact sites in uppercase) and 5′-gaGCCCTGTACCTGGCTGTCtacgacct′3′ (SEQ ID NO:95) cleaved within the LRRK2 locus.

  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs was microinjected into fertilized rat embryos using standard procedures (e.g., see Geurts et al. (2009) supra). The injected embryos were either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals were harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA was isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the LRRK2 locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA was subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods. FIG. 29 illustrates edited LRRK2 loci in two founder animals. One animal had a 10 bp deletion in the target sequence of exon 30, and the second animal had an 8 bp deletion in the target sequence of exon 30. These deletions disrupt the reading frame of the LRRK2 coding region.

  • Example 34 Genome Editing of FAH in a Model Organism
  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in a rabbit or human disease-related chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rabbit. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rabbit chromosomal sequence encoding the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase associated with rabbit immunodeficiency may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the FAH gene is disrupted such that a functional FAH protein may not be produced.
  • Suitable fertilized embryos may be microinjected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN essentially as detailed above in Example 33. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay, as detailed above. The sequence of the edited chromosomal sequence may be analyzed as described above. The development of immunodeficiency symptoms and disorders caused by the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rabbit or progeny thereof. Furthermore, molecular analyses of immunodeficiency-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising a FAH “knock-out”.
  • Example 35 Generation of a Humanized Rabbit Expressing a Mutant Form of Human cTnl
  • Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) displays an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and a diverse genetic etiology. FHC or a phenocopy can be caused by multiple mutations in genes encoding various contractile, structural, channel and kinase proteins. Commonly, arrhythmias, particularly ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation associated with FHC would lead to sudden death. A single base change at cTnl locus leads to alteration of a disease-associated protein, cardiac troponin. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rabbit wherein the rabbit cTnl locus is replaced with a mutant form of the human cTnl locus comprising one or more mutations. Such a humanized rabbit may be used to study the development of the diseases associated with the human FHC. In addition, the humanized rabbit may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway leading to FHC comprising cTnl.
  • The genetically modified rabbit may be generated using the methods described in the Examples above. However, to generate the humanized rabbit, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant cardiac troponin protein into the rabbit embryo. The rabbit chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rabbit expressing a mutant form of the cardiac troponin protein may be produced.

Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN may be produced using known molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to a technique substantially similar to the technique described in Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. The relative intensity of the cleavage products compared with the parental band is a measure of the level of Cel-1 cleavage of the heteroduplex. This, in turn, reflects the frequency of ZFN-mediated cleavage of the endogenous target locus that has subsequently undergone imperfect repair by NHEJ.

  • Example 51 Genome Editing of an Addiction-Related Protein in Model Organism Embryos
  • The embryos of a model organism such as a rat may be harvested using standard procedures and injected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding a ZFN similar to that described in Example 50. The rat embryos may at the single cell stage when microinjected. Control embryos were injected with 0.1 mM EDTA. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks was estimated using the Cel-1 assay as described in Example 50. The cutting efficiency may be estimated using the CEl-1 assay results.
  • The development of the embryos following microinjection may be assessed. Embryos injected with a small volume ZFN mRNA may be compared to embryos injected with EDTA to determine the effect of the ZFN mRNA on embryo survival to the blastula stage.
  • Example 52 Genome Editing of the APP Locus
  • Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) that target and cleave the APP locus of rats were designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al. Science (2009) 325:433). ZFN design made use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules. The rat APP gene region was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites to which existing modules could be fused to generate a pair of 4-, 5-, or 6-finger proteins that would bind a 12-18 bp sequence on one strand and a 12-18 bp sequence on the other strand, with about 5-6 bp between the two binding sites.
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding pairs of ZFNs was produced using known molecular biology techniques. The mRNA was transfected into rat cells. Control cells were injected with mRNA encoding GFP. Active ZFN pairs were identified by detecting ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells generates a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. This assay identified a pair of active ZFNs that edited the APP locus. The zinc finger binding sites were 5′-GCCAGCACCCCTGACgcag′3-(SEQ ID NO:129) and 5′-tcGACAAGTACCTGGAG′3′ (SEQ ID NO:130).
  • To mediate editing of the APP gene locus in animals, fertilized rat embryos were microinjected with mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs using standard procedures (e.g., see Geurts et al. (2009) supra). The injected embryos were either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live animals were harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA was isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the APP locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA was subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods. FIG. 32 presents edited APP loci in two founder animals; one had a 292 bp deletion in exon 9 (FIG. 32A) and the other had a 309 bp deletion in exon 9 (FIG. 32B).
  • Example 53 Genome Editing of Cognition-Related Genes in Model Organism Cells
  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be tested in the cells of a model organism such as a rat using a ZFN that binds to the chromosomal sequence of a cognition-related gene such as ANK3 (Ankryn 3), APP (Amyloid precursor protein), B2M (Beta-2 microglobulin), BRD1 (Bromodomain containing 1), FMR1 (Fragile X mental retardation 1), MECP2 (Methyl CpG binding protein 2), NGFR (Nerve growth factor receptor), NLGN3 (Neuroligin 3), or NRXN1 (Neurexin 1). ZFNs may be designed and tested essentially as described in Example 52. ZFNs targeted to a specific cognition-related gene may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the gene of interest is inactivated.
  • Example 54 Genome Editing of Cognition-Related Genes in Model Organisms
  • The embryos of a model organism such as a rat may be harvested using standard procedures and injected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding ZFNs that target cognition-related genes, as detailed above in Example 52. Donor or exchange polynucleotides comprising sequences for integration or exchange may be co-injected with the ZFNs. The edited chromosomal regions in the resultant animals may be analyzed as described above. The modified animals may be phenotypically analyzed for changes in behavior, learning, etc. Moreover, the genetically modified animal may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of cognition-related disorders.
  • Example 55 Genome Editing of CCR2 in a Model Organism
  • Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in an inflammation-related chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the CCR2 protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the inflammation-related protein CCR2 may be used to introduce a non-sense mutation into the coding region of the CCR2 gene, such that an active CCR2 protein may not be produced.
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN may be produced using known molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to a technique substantially similar to the technique described in Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The mRNA may be transfected into rat embryos. The rat embryos may be at the single cell stage when microinjected. Control embryos may be injected with 0.1 mM EDTA. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type (WT) as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells may generate a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. The relative intensity of the cleavage products compared with the parental band is a measure of the level of Cel-1 cleavage of the heteroduplex. This, in turn, reflects the frequency of ZFN-mediated cleavage of the endogenous target locus that has subsequently undergone imperfect repair by NHEJ.
  • The development of the embryos following microinjection, and the development of inflammation-related symptoms and disorders caused by the CCR2 “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat. For CCR2, inflammation-related symptoms and disorders may include development of rheumatoid arthritis and an altered inflammatory response against tumors. The results may be compared to the control rat injected with 0.1 mM EDTA, where the chromosomal region encoding the CCR2 protein is not altered. In addition, molecular analysis of inflammation-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising a CCR2 “knock-out”.
  • Example 56 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human Perforin-1
  • Missense mutations in perforin-1, a critical effector of lymphocyte cytotoxicity, lead to a spectrum of diseases, from familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis to an increased risk of tumorigenesis. One such mutation is the V50M missense mutation where the valine amino acid at position 50 in perforin-1 is replaced with methionine. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat PRF1 gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human PRF1 gene comprising the V50M mutation. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of the diseases associated with the mutant human perforin-1 protein. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the inflammatory pathway comprising perforin-1.
  • The genetically modified rat may be generated using the methods described in Example 55 above. However, to generate the humanized rat, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant perforin-1 protein into the rat embryo. The rat chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the perforin-1 protein may be produced.
  • Example 57 Editing the Pten Locus
  • ZFNs that target and cleave the Pten locus in rats were designed and tested for activity essentially as described above in Example 55. An active pair of ZFNs was identified. The DNA binding sites were 5′-CCCCAGTTTGTGGTCtgcca-3′ (SEQ ID NO:135) and 5′-gcTAAAGGTGAAGATCTA-3′ (SEQ ID NO:136). Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the active pair may be microinjected into rat embryos and the resultant embryos may be analyzed as described in Example 55. Accordingly, the Pten locus may be edited to contain a deletion or an insertion such that the coding region is disrupted and no functional gene product is made.
  • Example 58 Identification of ZFNs that Edit the Rag1 Locus
  • The Rag1 gene was chosen for zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) mediated genome editing. ZFNs were designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures described in the examples above. ZFN design made use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules. The rat Rag1 gene region (XM001079242) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites to which existing modules could be fused to generate a pair of 4-, 5-, or 6-finger proteins that would bind a 12-18 bp sequence on one strand and a 12-18 bp sequence on the other strand, with about 5-6 bp between the two binding sites. Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding each pair of ZFNs was produced and transfected into rat cells. Control cells were injected with mRNA encoding GFP. Active ZFN pairs were identified by detecting ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-ttCCTTGGGCAGTAGACctgactgtgag-3′ (SEQ ID NO:137; contact sites in upper case) and 5′-gtGACCGTGGAGTGGCAcccccacacac-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 138) cleaved within the Rag1 gene.
  • Example 59 Editing the Rag1 Locus
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs was microinjected into fertilized rat embryos as described in the examples above. The injected embryos were either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals were harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA was isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the Rag1 locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA was subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods. FIG. 33 presents DNA sequences of edited Rag1 loci in two animals (SEQ ID NOS: 131 and 132). One animal had a 808 bp deletion in exon 2, and a second animal had a 29 bp deletion in the target sequence of exon 2. These deletions disrupt the reading frame of the Rag1 coding region.

  • Example 61 Editing the Rag2 Locus
  • Rat embryos were microinjected with mRNA encoding the active pair of Rag2 ZFNs essentially as described in Example 56. The injected embryos were incubated and DNA was extracted from the resultant animals. The targeted region of the Rag2 locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers.

One animal had a 13 bp deletion in the target sequence in exon 3, and a second animal had a 2 bp deletion in the target sequence of exon 3. These deletions disrupt the reading frame of the Rag2 coding region.

  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in an AD-related chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the Oct 1 protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the Oct 1 protein associated with AD may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the Oct 1 gene is disrupted such that a functional Oct 1 protein may not be produced.

The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay, as detailed above. The sequence of the edited chromosomal sequence may be analyzed as described above. The development of AD symptoms and disorders caused by the Oct 1 “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat or progeny thereof. Furthermore, molecular analyses of AD-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising an ErbB4 “knock-out”.
  • Example 65 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human Genes Involved in ADME and Toxicology
  • Mutations in any of the chromosomal sequences involved in ADME and toxicology can be used in the generation of a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the gene. The genes can be Oct 1, Oct 2, Hfe2, Ppar(alpha), and combinations thereof. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human gene comprising the mutation. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of the diseases associated with the mutant human protein encoded by the gene of interest. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway leading to AD comprising the gene of interest.
  • The genetically modified rat may be generated using the methods described in the Example above. However, to generate the humanized rat, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant protein into the rat embryo. The rat chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the protein may be produced.

  • The Mdr1a gene was chosen for zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) mediated genome editing. ZFNs were designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al., Science (2009) 325:433). ZFN design made use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules.

  • Example 75 Disruption of Mdr1a
  • In vitro preparation of ZFN mRNAs: the ZFN expression plasmids were obtained from Sigma's CompoZr product line. Each plasmid was linearized at the XbaI site, which is located at the 3′ end of the FokI ORF. 5′ capped and 3′ polyA tailed message RNA was prepared using either MessageMax T7 Capped transcription kit and poly (A) polymerase tailing kit (Epicentre Biotechnology, Madison, Wis.) or mMessage Machine T7 kit and poly (A) tailing kit (Ambion, Austin, Tex.). The poly A tailing reaction was precipitated twice with an equal volume of 5 M NH4OAc and then dissolved in injection buffer (1 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 0.25 mM EDTA). mRNA concentration was estimated using a NanoDrop 2000 Spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, Del.).
  • ZFN validation in cultured cells: In short, when ZFNs make a double-strand break at the target site that is repaired by the non-homologous end-joining pathway, deletions or insertions are introduced. The wild-type and mutated alleles are amplified in the same PCR reaction. When the mixture is denatured and allowed to re-anneal, the wild-type and mutated alleles form double strands with unpaired region around the cleavage site, which can be recognized and cleaved by a single strand specific endonuclease to generate two smaller molecules in addition to the parental PCR product. The presence of the cleaved PCR bands indicates ZFN activity in the transfected cells.
  • The NIH 3T3 cells were grown in DMEM with 10% FBS and antibiotics at 37° C. with 5% CO2. ZFN mRNAs were paired at 1:1 ratio and transfected into the NIH 3T3 cells to confirm ZFN activity using a Nucleofector (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), following the manufacture's 96-well shuttle protocol for 3T3 cells. Twenty-four hours after transfection, culturing medium was removed, and cells were incubated with 15 ul of trypsin per well for 5 min at 37° C. Cell suspension was then transferred to 100 ul of QuickExtract (Epicentre) and incubated at 68° C. for 10 min and 98° C. for 3 min. The extracted DNA was then used as template in a PCR reaction to amplify around the target site with following primer pairs:

  • Microinjection and mouse husbandry: FVB/NTac and C57BL/6NTac mice were housed in static cages and maintained on a 14 h/10 h light/dark cycle with ad libitum access to food and water. Three to four week-old females were injected with PMS (5 I.U./per mouse) 48 h before hCG (5 I.U./mouse) injection. One-cell fertilized eggs were harvested 10-12 h after hCG injection for microinjection. ZFN mRNA was injected at 2 ng/ul. Injected eggs were transferred to pseudopregnant females (Swiss Webster (SW) females from Taconic Labs mated with vasectomized SW males) at 0.5 dpc.

PCR and mutation detection assay were done under the same conditions as in ZFN validation in cultured cells using the same sets of primers.

Each PCR reaction contained 25 ul of 2× ReadyMix, 5 ul of primers, 1 ul of template, and 19 ul of water. The same PCR program was used as in ZFN validation in cultured cells. Each PCR reaction was cloned using TOPO TA cloning kit (Invitrogen) following the manufacture's instructions. At least 8 colonies were picked from each transformation, PCR amplified with T3 and T7 primers, and sequenced with either T3 or T7 primer. Sequencing was done at Elim Biopharmaceuticals (Hayward, Calif.).

  • Interestingly, three small deletions were each found in two founders: a 19 bp deletion in founders 7 and 36, a 21 bp deletion in founders 17 and 27, and a 6 bp deletion in founders 34 and 44 (FIG. 43).
  • A high rate of germline transmission from Mdr1a founders was observed. Nine of the founders were chosen to backcross to the wild-type FVB/N mice to the F1 generation, all of which transmitted at least one mutant allele to their offspring. Seven founders transmitted multiple mutated alleles. Interestingly, in some cases, novel alleles that were not identified in founders also transmitted germline, such as founders 6, 8, 13, 21, and 44 (Table 11).

  • To verify that deletion in the Mdr1a gene abolishes its expression, we performed RT-PCR on total RNA from liver, kidney and intestine of Mdr1a−/− mice established from founder 23, with a 396 bp deletion (FIG. 44A), using a forward and a reverse primer located in exons 5 and 9, respectively. The Mdr1a protein is differentially expressed in tissues. Liver and large intestine predominantly express Mdr1a, and kidney expresses both Mdr1a and Mdr1b. Samples from all the Mdr1a−/− tissues produced a smaller product at lower yield than corresponding wild-type samples, with a sequence correlating to exon 7 skipping, which introduces multiple premature stop codons in exon 8 in the mutant animals.
  • The RT-PCR results demonstrate that the Mdr1a−/− samples produce a transcript missing the 172 bp exon 7 at lower than wild-type level, possibly due to the premature stop codons introduced by exon skipping (FIG. 44B) that lead to non-sense mediated decay. In the Mdr1a−/− samples, there were faint bands at and above the size of the wild-type transcript, which are most likely PCR artifact because amplification of those bands excised from the gel yielded mostly the exon skipped product. The bands at the wild-type size in the second round of PCR were mixtures that did not yield readable sequences (not shown). The mouse Mdr1a gene has 28 exons, and the encoded protein is composed of two units of six transmembrane domains (TMs 1-6 and TMs 7-12) and an ATP binding site with a linker region in between. All 12 TM domains as well as the two ATP-binding motifs are essential for Mdr1a function. The Mdr1a ZFNs target exon 7, which encodes TMs 3 and 4. A partial protein resulting from exon skipping and premature translational terminations will not be functional. The Mdr1a−/− mice derived from founder 23 thus represent a functional knock-out.
  • To validate potential off-target sites of Mdr1a ZFN's, we identified 20 sites in the mouse genome that are most similar to the Mdr1a target site, all with 5 bp mismatches from the ZFN binding sequence. One site is in the Mdr1b gene, which is 88% identical to the Mdr1a gene. To validate the specificity of the Mdr1a ZFNs, we tested the Mdr1b site in all 44 Mdr1a F0 pups using mutation detection assay. None of the 44 pups had an NHEJ event at the Mdr1b site (FIG. 45). The finding that no modifications were detected at the Mdr1b site in any of the 44 live births indicates specificity of the Mdr1a ZFNs. In addition, undesired modifications at loci unlinked to the target site will be lost during subsequent breeding.
  • Table 12 lists sites among twenty sites in the mouse genome that were checked for off-target activity of Mdr1a ZFNs, which are most similar (with five mismatches) to the Mdr1a target site. Listed are the numbers of the chromosomes they are on and gene names if known. All the mismatched bases are in lower case. The spacer sequence between the binding sites is in bold letters.

  • Example 76 Genome Editing of APP Locus
  • Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) that target and cleave the APP locus of rats were designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al. Science (2009) 325:433). ZFN design made use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules. The rat APP gene region was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites to which existing modules could be fused to generate a pair of 4-, 5-, or 6-finger proteins that would bind a 12-18 bp sequence on one strand and a 12-18 bp sequence on the other strand, with about 5-6 bp between the two binding sites.
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding pairs of ZFNs was produced using known molecular biology techniques. The mRNA was transfected into rat cells. Control cells were injected with mRNA encoding GFP. Active ZFN pairs were identified by detecting ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells generates a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. This assay identified a pair of active ZFNs that edited the APP locus. The zinc finger binding sites were 5′-GCCAGCACCCCTGACgcag-3′ (SEQ ID NO:213) and 5′-tcGACAAGTACCTGGAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO:214).
  • To mediate editing of the APP gene locus in animals, fertilized rat embryos were microinjected with mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs using standard procedures (e.g., see Geurts et al. (2009) supra). The injected embryos were either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals were harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA was isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the APP locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA was subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods. FIG. 32 presents edited APP loci in two founder animals; one had a 292 bp deletion in exon 9 (FIG. 32A) and the other had a 309 bp deletion in exon 9 (FIG. 32B).
  • Example 77 Genome Editing of ApoE Locus
  • ZFNs with activity at the ApoE locus were identified as described above. That is, the rat ApoE gene (NM138828) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites, and pairs of ZFNs were assembled and tested essentially as described in Example 76. It was found that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-aaGCGGTTCAGGGCCTGctcccagggtt-3′ (SEQ ID NO:215; contact sites in upper case) and 5′-ggGATTACCTGcGCTGGGtgcagacgct-3′ (SEQ ID NO:216) cleaved the ApoE locus.
  • Fertilized one-cell embryos were injected with mRNAs encoding the active ZFN pair as described above in Example 76. The resultant animals were analyzed as detailed in Example 76. FIG. 30 presents two edited ApoE loci. One animal had a 16 bp deletion in the target sequence of exon 2, and a second animal had a 1 bp deletion in the target sequence of exon 2. These deletions disrupt the reading frame of the ApoE coding region.
  • Example 78 Genome Editing of BDNF Locus
  • To identify ZFNs that target and cleave the BDNF locus, the rat BDNF gene (NM012513) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites. The ZFNs pairs were assembled and tested essentially as described in Example 76. This analysis revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-cgGGGTCGGAGtGGCGCCgaaccctcat-3′ (SEQ ID NO:217) and 5′-cgGGGTCGGAGtGGCGCCgaaccctcat-3′ (SEQ ID NO:218) edited the BDNF locus.
  • Fertilized rat embryos were microinjected with mRNAs encoding the active ZNF pair and analyzed essentially as described above in Example 76. FIG. 46 presents edited BDNF loci in two founder animals; one had a 14 bp deletion in the target sequence in exon 2 and the other had a 7 bp deletion in the target sequence in exon 2.
  • The genetically modified rats were observed for phenotypic changes. Homozygous animals died within 2 weeks of birth. Heterozygous and homozygous animals were smaller in size than corresponding control animals (i.e., derived from embryos microinjected with GFP mRNA).
  • Example 79 Genome Editing of PSEN1 in a Model Organism
  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in an AD-related chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the PSEN1 protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the PSEN1 protein associated with AD may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the PSEN1 gene is disrupted such that a functional PSEN1 protein may not be produced.
  • Suitable fertilized embryos may be microinjected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN essentially as detailed above in Example 76. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay, as detailed above. The sequence of the edited chromosomal sequence may be analyzed as described above. The development of AD symptoms and disorders caused by the PSEN1 “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat or progeny thereof. Furthermore, molecular analyses of AD-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising a PSEN1 “knock-out”.
  • Example 80 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human PSEN2
  • Missense mutations in PSEN2, a part of the enzymatic complex that cleaves amyloid beta peptide from APP, cause type 4 familial AD. One such mutation is the M239V missense mutation where the methionine residue acid at position 239 in PSEN2 is replaced with a valine residue. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat PSEN2 gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human PSEN2 gene comprising the M239V mutation. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of the diseases associated with the mutant human PSEN2 protein. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway leading to AD comprising PSEN2.
  • The genetically modified rat may be generated using the methods described in the Examples above. However, to generate the humanized rat, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant PSEN2 protein into the rat embryo. The rat chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the PSEN2 protein may be produced.

  • Example 81 Genome Editing of BZRAP1 in a Model Organism
  • Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in an ASD-associated chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the BZRAP1 protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the BZRAP1 protein associated with ASD may be used to introduce a non-sense mutation into the coding region of the BZRAP1 gene, such that an active BZRAP1 protein may not be produced.
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN may be produced using known molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to a technique substantially similar to the technique described in Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The mRNA may be transfected into rat embryos. The rat embryos may be at the single cell stage when microinjected. Control embryos may be injected with 0.1 mM EDTA. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type (WT) as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells may generate a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. The relative intensity of the cleavage products compared with the parental band is a measure of the level of Cel-1 cleavage of the heteroduplex. This, in turn, reflects the frequency of ZFN-mediated cleavage of the endogenous target locus that has subsequently undergone imperfect repair by NHEJ.
  • The development of the embryos following microinjection, and the development of ASD-related symptoms and disorders caused by the BZRAP1 “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat. For BZRAP1, ASD-related symptoms and disorders may include development of rheumatoid arthritis and an altered inflammatory response against tumors. The results may be compared to the control rat injected with 0.1 mM EDTA, where the chromosomal region encoding the BZRAP1 protein is not altered. In addition, molecular analysis of ASD-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising a BZRAP1 “knock-out”.
  • Example 82 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human Neurexin-1
  • Missense mutations in neurexin-1, a presynaptic protein that helps glue together neurons at the synapse, are associated with autism. One such mutation is the L18Q missense mutation where the leucine amino acid at position 18 in neurexin-1 is replaced with glutamine. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat NRXN1 gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human NRXN1 gene comprising the L18Q mutation. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of autism. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential autism therapeutic agents targeted at perforin-1.
  • The genetically modified rat may be generated using the methods described in Example 81 above. However, to generate the humanized rat, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant neurexin-1 protein into the rat embryo. The rat chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the neurexin-1 protein may be produced.
  • Example 83 Genome Editing of NOG Locus
  • Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) that target and cleave the NOG locus of rats may be designed, assembled and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al.

  • Example 84 Genome Editing of BMP4 in a Model Organism
  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in neurodevelopmental chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the BMP4 protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the BMP4 protein associated with a neurodevelopmental pathway may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the BMP4 gene is disrupted such that a functional BMP4 protein may not be produced.
  • Suitable fertilized embryos may be microinjected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN essentially as detailed above in Example 83. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay, as detailed above. The sequence of the edited chromosomal sequence may be analyzed as described above. The development of the neurodevelopmental symptoms and disorders caused by the BMP4 “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat or progeny thereof. Furthermore, molecular analyses of neurodevelopmental pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising a BMP4 “knock-out”.
  • Example 85 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human BMP4
  • Four missense mutations in BMP4 were detected in a population of human spina bifida aperta patients. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat BMP4 gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human BMP4 gene associated with spina bifida aperta, or any combination of the four mutations. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of the spina bifida aperta associated with the mutant human BMP4 protein. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway leading to spina bifida aperta comprising BMP4.
  • The genetically modified rat may be generated using the methods described in the Example 83. However, to generate the humanized rat, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant BMP4 protein into the rat embryo. The rat chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the BMP4 protein may be produced.
  • Example 86 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human Perforin-1
  • Missense mutations in perforin-1, a critical effector of lymphocyte cytotoxicity, lead to a spectrum of diseases, from familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis to an increased risk of tumorigenesis. One such mutation is the V50M missense mutation where the valine amino acid at position 50 in perforin-1 is replaced with methionine. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat PRF1 gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human PRF1 gene comprising the V50M mutation. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of the diseases associated with the mutant human perforin-1 protein. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the inflammatory pathway comprising perforin-1.

  • Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) that target and cleave the TRPM5 locus of rats may be designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al. Science (2009) 325:433). ZFN design may make use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules. The rat TRPM5 gene region was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites to which existing modules could be fused to generate a pair of 4-, 5-, or 6-finger proteins that would bind a 12-18 bp sequence on one strand and a 12-18 bp sequence on the other strand, with about 5-6 bp between the two binding sites.
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding pairs of ZFNs may be produced using known molecular biology techniques. The mRNA may be transfected into rat cells. Control cells may be injected with mRNA encoding GFP. Active ZFN pairs may be identified by detecting ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type (WT) as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells generates a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture results in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. This assay may be used to identify a pair of active ZFNs that edited the TRPM5 locus.
  • To mediate editing of the TRPM5 gene locus in animals, fertilized rat embryos may be microinjected with mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs using standard procedures (e.g., see Geurts et al. (2009) supra). The injected embryos may be either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals may be harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA may be isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the TRPM5 locus may be PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA may be subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods.
  • Example 88 Genome Editing of ERAL1 in a Model Organism
  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in nociception-related chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the ERAL1 protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the ERAL1 protein associated with a nociception pathway may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the ERAL1 gene is disrupted such that a functional ERAL1 protein may not be produced.
  • Suitable fertilized embryos may be microinjected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN essentially as detailed above in Example 87. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay, as detailed above. The sequence of the edited chromosomal sequence may be analyzed as described above. The development of AD symptoms and disorders caused by the ERAL1 “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat or progeny thereof. Furthermore, molecular analyses of nociception-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising a ERAL1 “knock-out”.
  • Example 89 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human SCN9A
  • Missense mutations in SCN9A, a sodium ion channel that is expressed at high levels in nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, are associated with erythromelagia, an inherited disorder characterized by symmetrical burning pain of the feet, lower legs, and hands. Three mutations have been characterized in SCN9A: W897X, located in the P-loop of domain 2; I767X, located in the S2 segment of domain 2; and S459X, located in the linker region between domains 1 and 2, any one of which results in a truncated non-functional protein. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat SCN9A gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human SCN9A gene comprising the W897X mutation, the I767X mutation, the S459X mutation, or any combination of the three mutations. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of the erythromelagia associated with the mutant human SCN9A protein. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway leading to erythromelagia comprising SCN9A.
  • The genetically modified rat may be generated using the methods described in Example 87 above. However, to generate the humanized rat, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant SCN9A protein into the rat embryo. The rat chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the SCN9A protein may be produced.
  • Example 90 Identification of ZFNs that Edit the DISC1 Locus
  • The DISC1 gene in rat was chosen for zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) mediated genome editing. ZFNs were designed, assembled, and validated using strategies and procedures previously described (see Geurts et al. Science (2009) 325:433). ZFN design made use of an archive of pre-validated 1-finger and 2-finger modules. The DISC1 gene region (NM175596) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites to which existing modules could be fused to generate a pair of 4-, 5-, or 6-finger proteins that would bind a 12-18 bp sequence on one strand and a 12-18 bp sequence on the other strand, with about 5-6 bp between the two binding sites.

A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch is cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. This assay revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-taGTCCCGGCAGGCTATcctgggcggtg-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 226; contact sites in uppercase) and 5′-ccGTCACCAGGCGGGACtggctgatgcg-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 227) cleaved within the DISC1 locus.
  • Example 91 Editing the DISC1 Locus in Rat Embryos
  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs was microinjected into fertilized rat embryos using standard procedures (e.g., see Geurts et al. (2009) supra). The injected embryos were either incubated in vitro, or transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals were harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA was isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the DISC1 locus was PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA was subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods. FIG. 47 presents an edited DISC1 locus in which 20 bp was deleted from the target sequence in exon 5. This deletion disrupts the reading frame of the DISC1 coding region.
  • Example 92 Identification of ZFNs that Edit the BDNF Locus
  • To identify ZFNs that target and cleave the BDNF locus, the rat BDNF gene (NM012513) was scanned for putative zinc finger binding sites. The ZFNs were assembled and tested essentially as described in Example 90. This analysis revealed that the ZFN pair targeted to bind 5′-cgGGGTCGGAGtGGCGCCgaaccctcat-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 228) and 5′-ccGCCGTGGGGaGCTGAGcgtgtgtgac-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 229) cleaved within the BDNF locus.
  • Fertilized rat embryos were microinjected with mRNAs encoding the active ZNF pair and analyzed essentially as described above in Example 91. FIG. 46 presents edited BDNF loci in two founder animals; one had a 14 bp deletion in the target sequence in exon 2 and the other had a 7 bp deletion in the target sequence in exon 2.
  • The genetically modified rats were observed for phenotypic changes. Homozygous animals died within 2 weeks of birth. Heterozygous and homozygous animals were smaller in size than corresponding control animals (i.e., derived from embryos microinjected with GFP mRNA).
  • Example 93 Genome Editing of ErbB4 in a Model Organism
  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in a chromosomal sequence associated with schizophrenia, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the ErbB4 protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the ErbB4 protein associated with schizophrenia may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the ErbB4 gene is disrupted such that a functional ErbB4 protein may not be produced.

The development of schizophrenia symptoms and disorders caused by the ErbB4 “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat or progeny thereof. Furthermore, molecular analyses of schizophrenia-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising an ErbB4 “knock-out”.
  • Example 94 Generation of a Humanized Rat Expressing a Mutant Form of Human TPH1
  • To develop a “humanized” animal model for the evaluation of schizophrenia symptoms and treatments, a rat comprising a genome including the human mutant form of TPH1 may be created. The human mutant form may be A218C that is found within intron 7 of TPH1; A218C is thought to be highly associated with schizophrenia. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat gene is replaced with the A218C mutant form of human TPH1. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of schizophrenia associated with the mutant human protein encoded by the mutated TPH1. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway associated with TPH1.
  • The genetically modified rat may be generated using the methods described in Example 91 above. However, to generate the humanized rat, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant TPH1 protein into the rat embryo. The rat chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized rat expressing a mutant form of the protein may be produced.

  • Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the active pair of ZFNs was microinjected into fertilized rat embryos using standard procedures (e.g., see Geurts et al. (2009) supra). Control embryos were microinjected with saline or mRNA encoding GFP. The injected embryos were transferred to pseudopregnant female rats to be carried to parturition. Toe/tail of clips of each live born animal was harvested for DNA extraction and analysis using a Cel-1 assay. As shown in FIG. 48, about 25% of the experimental animals had an edited p53 gene locus.
  • Example 97 Inactivation of the p53 Locus in Rat
  • To determine that the edited p53 locus was inactivated, Western analyses were performed to confirm that no p53 protein was produced. Cell lysates were prepared from the kidney and liver of a wildtype animal and a p53 knock-out animal. As shown on FIG. 49, both cytoplasmic and nuclear lysates of the p53 knock-out animal were devoid of p53 protein. The levels of actin protein were constant among the wildtype and mutant samples, however. Thus, the p53 edited rat was a p53 knock-out rat.

The resulting embryos/fetus, or the toe/tail clip of live born animals may be harvested for DNA extraction and analysis. DNA can be isolated using standard procedures. The targeted region of the prnd locus is to be PCR amplified using appropriate primers. The amplified DNA is to be subcloned into a suitable vector and sequenced using standard methods.
  • Example 112 Genome Editing of Dpl Genes in Model Organism Cells
  • ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to study the effects of a “knock-out” mutation in an AD-related chromosomal sequence, such as a chromosomal sequence encoding the Dpl protein, in a genetically modified model animal and cells derived from the animal. Such a model animal may be a rat. In general, ZFNs that bind to the rat chromosomal sequence encoding the Dpl protein associated with AD may be used to introduce a deletion or insertion such that the coding region of the Dpl gene (Prnd) is disrupted such that a functional Dpl protein may not be produced.
  • Suitable fertilized embryos may be microinjected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN essentially as detailed above in Example 111. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay, as detailed above. The sequence of the edited chromosomal sequence may be analyzed as described above. The development of AD symptoms and disorders caused by the Dpl “knock-out” may be assessed in the genetically modified rat or progeny thereof. Furthermore, molecular analyses of AD-related pathways may be performed in cells derived from the genetically modified animal comprising a Dpl “knock-out”.
  • Example 113 Genome Editing of Prp Genes in Model Organisms
  • Coding polymorphism at PrP codon 129 has a strong association with disease susceptibility and phenotype modifying effect, especially when the amino acid at codon 129 is methionine or valine. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized rat wherein the rat Prp gene is replaced with a mutant form of the human Prpn gene comprising sequence with 129M or 129V. Such a humanized rat may be used to study the development of the diseases associated with the mutant human PSEN2 protein. In addition, the humanized rat may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway leading to prion disorder comprising neurotoxic PrP isoform.
  • Example 114 Genome Editing of Agouti in Model Organism Cells
  • Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated genome editing may be tested in the cells of a model organism such as an equine using a ZFN that binds to the chromosomal sequence of a hair color-related gene of the equine cell such as MSH receptor proteins, agouti signaling protein (ASIP) and melanophilin (MLPH). The particular coat color-related gene to be edited may be a gene having identical DNA binding sites to the DNA binding sites of the corresponding equine homolog of the gene. Capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding the ZFN may be produced using known molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to a technique substantially similar to the technique described in Science (2009) 325:433, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The mRNA may be transfected into equine cells. Control cells may be injected with mRNA encoding GFP.
  • The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be determined using the Cel-1 nuclease assay. This assay detects alleles of the target locus that deviate from wild type (WT) as a result of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated imperfect repair of ZFN-induced DNA double strand breaks. PCR amplification of the targeted region from a pool of ZFN-treated cells may generate a mixture of WT and mutant amplicons. Melting and reannealing of this mixture may result in mismatches forming between heteroduplexes of the WT and mutant alleles. A DNA “bubble” formed at the site of mismatch may be cleaved by the surveyor nuclease Cel-1, and the cleavage products can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. The relative intensity of the cleavage products compared with the parental band is a measure of the level of Cel-1 cleavage of the heteroduplex. This, in turn, reflects the frequency of ZFN-mediated cleavage of the endogenous target locus that has subsequently undergone imperfect repair by NHEJ.
  • The results of this experiment may demonstrate the cleavage of a selected hair color-related gene locus in equine cells using a ZFN.
  • Example 115 Genome Editing of Agouti in Model Organism Embryos
  • The embryos of a model organism such as an equine may be harvested using standard procedures and injected with capped, polyadenylated mRNA encoding a ZFN similar to that described in Example 114. The equine embryos may be generally at the one-cell stage when microinjected. Control embryos may be injected with 0.1 mM EDTA. The frequency of ZFN-induced double strand chromosomal breaks may be estimated using the Cel-1 assay as described in Example 114. The cutting efficiency may be estimated using the CEl-1 assay results.
  • The development of the embryos following microinjection may be assessed. Embryos injected with a small volume ZFN mRNA may be compared to embryos injected with EDTA to determine the effect of the ZFN mRNA on embryo survival to the blastula stage.
  • Example 116 Generation of a Humanized Equine Expressing a Mutant Form of Human SCID
  • The first human mutation in the gene encoding DNA-PKcs (DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit) has been identified in a radiosensitive T-B-SCID patient. A mutation in the DNA-PKcs gene has been predicted for a long time, but spontaneous mutations had only been identified in mouse, horse and dog models. A single base change at DNA-PKcs may lead to alteration of a disease-associated kinase subunit protein. ZFN-mediated genome editing may be used to generate a humanized equine wherein the equine DNA-PKcs is replaced with a mutant form of the human DNA-PKcs comprising one or more mutations. Such a humanized equine may be used to study the development of the diseases associated with the mutant human DNA-PKcs protein. In addition, the humanized equine may be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents targeted at the pathway leading to immunodeficiency comprising DNA-PKcs.
  • The genetically modified equine may be generated using the methods described in the Examples above. However, to generate the humanized equine, the ZFN mRNA may be co-injected with the human chromosomal sequence encoding the mutant DNA-PKcs protein into the equine embryo. The equine chromosomal sequence may then be replaced by the mutant human sequence by homologous recombination, and a humanized equine expressing a mutant form of the DNA-PKcs protein may be produced.
